Package weighs 181.5 grams and has 10 grams oxytetracycline.
10 ÷ 181.5 = 0.055, which means it's 5.5% oxytetracycline, 94.5% filler
One gram = 55mg
One teaspoon weighs about 3 grams which = 165mg x 5 teaspoons = 825 mg
The 800 mg dose for one gallon = 5 teaspoons (825mg is close enough)

I know this is an old thread but thought it might be worth a shot. I have a 1.5 year old 2lb Dark Brahma that seems to have some type of intestinal infection. Avian vet prescribed OxyTet Soluble 280 after xrays and an exam. The hen absolutely refuses to drink it (going on day 3). I am tube feeding critical care 2x daily and was wondering how much powder I would add to ensure she is getting dosed.

Can you call your vet and ask them "how many mg per kg & how many times per day?"
