So glad he's recovered, he looks really good compared to how he started. :ya

X2! Sometimes people much later find a thread that relates to something they are dealing wtih, and updates with outcomes can provide good info for them. Glad your roo is doing well!

I would go 5-7 days, I generally try to make sure they are given for 2 days past end of symptoms.

Your dose of 57mg/lb is correct, I usually give it twice a day (every 12 hours). It's usually very well tolerated. To make it easier to give I mix the dose with some softened coconut oil and then freeze until firm. I put it on parchment paper or wax paper. Then I just take out one at dose...
