    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    Ivermectin 1% comes in an eye dropper where i live and the dosage is measure in drops. You are trying to say 0.05 mL where most people dont have a ml measure for 0.05. It is certainly posted on labels how many drops to give and comes in a bottle similar to medical eye drops. There was an...

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    Good luck with her recovery, i hope she perks up soon. Eggcessive suggested dose is not way off from what i was saying, so you have treated her with the proper amounts. I was underdosing, chickens do have a higher tolerance some things.

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    That dilution in water means there is a concentration of 0.0001 g/ml. If the target dose is 10mg, she will have to drink 100 mL of water and no more or less to get the dose eggcessive suggests of 10 mg per day. You can do it this way, but the medicine is designes to be given orally as a single...

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    Here is a picture of a 10 mg scooper to see how tiny the amount is. Maybe the grain estimate is off, some powders are too smooth to count. So you may just guess based on that.

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    The dose is 4 mg initial and 2 mg maintenance for direct dose. Based on using 2% of a human 160lb human adult dose. But to measure mg, I can only guess that 5 grains is about 1 mg. So seperate out 20 grains of the powder as the initial dose. And every 12 hours after it is 1/2 of that.. or 10...

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    With Corid you would have to treat your whole flock. Are you seeing any signs of diarreah in your other hens? Maybe people would recommend it, but i dont know to say yes or no. How is her weight? I dont know how are you administering a calcium tablet? She swallowed an entire calcium tab? I...

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    What % is the ivermectin? Ivermectin is also a very tiny dose. 1% ivermectin dose for your chicken is 2 or 3 drops (probably 2 for a small hen). But if you have a 5% ivermectin, then it is less than 1 drop. It isnt the best dewormer, but if she is having worms now then it will work. You could...

    Direct dosing doxycycline fish powder? Help she’s dying.

    Have you dewormed? I usually consider worms and parasites before antibiotic treatments. Maybe she is egg bound with recently taking calcium? There may be internal blockage somewhere from parasites or egg. Just posting this to prevent you from overdosing, i dont claim it is correct, but im just...
