There's some dosing here, but it's not an easy read, lol. http://avianmedicine.net/content/uploads/2013/03/09_therapeutic_agents.pdf It's from this book set: http://avianmedicine.net/publication_cat/clinical-avian-medicine/ -Kathy

My issue is that there website says to use it for one day and it should be five days. If you don't believe, me call a vet school and ask them. Also, write them back and ask them how much you should give a 1 pound chicken, a 40 pound turkey and a 1/4 pound quail, I bet you they don't have an...

From the book -Kathy

If you're going to do it, do it for five days, please! -Kathy

The manual specifies chickens, turkeys and gamebirds, but like you, I have used more than what it recommends. When my nightmares with blackhead started I had liquid metronidazole and it was effective at 30mg/kg (30mg/2.2 pounds), so I know that it works and I saved many using that dosing scheme...

FWIW, I have given 250mg to small chickens and seen no ill effects. Not saying that's what one should do, just that I have. Actually have one right now that I'm doing an experiment on, lol, she's getting 200mg Flagyl for five days and she weighs less than 2kg. -Kathy

I just read the Twin City description and they are metronidazole, but it doesn't say what strength. I think they're probably 250's, but it would be good to know. -Kathy

Are they 100mg, 200mg, 250mg, 400mg or 500mg? Trust me, according to the AAAP Avian Disease Manual, treatment for canker or blackhead is 30mg/kg for five days, Twin City had made an error I think. -Kathy

Treatment for blackhead with metronidazole is *no less* than 30mg/kg once a day for five days. The AAAP Avian disease manual says that it's 30mg/kg for five days, but I know people that have had their vets prescribe 60mg/kg twice a day, so that's why I wrote no less than 30mg/kg. Valbazen will...

I'm really anal about weighing, so I would want to weigh her daily on a kitchen scale for this. Tube feeding is also a good diagnostic tool in that you control what goes in and can tell a lot by what comes out, lol. If she were mine I would probably try some Corid (amprolium) and maybe some...

Amprolium for cattle is fine, get the liquid if you can. How much weight has she lost since you wormed her? I think it's time to start tube feeding, which I can help you with on the phone. -Kathy

Glad I could help. -Kathy

That looks like starvation poop to me. How much is she eating? -Kathy

.28ml for 3 pounds. -Kathy

Remember, it's .2ml for every 2.2 pounds. If she only weighs a pound, it would be half that. -Kathy

Do you have a way to weigh her, like on a kitchen scale? I'm very anal about dosing, so if you can weigh her that would be best. FYI, an average size RIR hen would get .6ml. -Kathy

That is a 3ml syringe, you need a 1ml syringe. -Kathy

You need to give each chicken .2 ml per 2.2 pounds orally and repeat in 10 days. Any less than that and it's not as effective. -Kathy

While you're there, get some poultry dust, too. -Kathy
