amoxicillin

We have a lethargic young hen (not laying but may have layed 2-4 soft eggs so far). We checked crop, vent, tried to feel stomach. Nothing feels super off except she’s so small compared to the rest. We think she may have a bacterial infection- so sleepy, falling asleep standing up, wouldn’t get...

Hello, My 5 y/o chicken had some fluid in her stomach and the vet’s pumped it out and determined that it was one of three things: liver failure, cancer, or egg yolk peritonitis. We’re treating her with antibiotics because they found some yolk in the fluid that was inside her. Obviously if this...

Hi everyone, A few weeks ago my Wyandotte hen had Bumblefoot. The vet said we caught it early and she prescribed 250mg of amoxicillin per day for 5 days and 3ml of Metacam per day for 3 days. The vet commented that she was otherwise a very healthy hen, she had good legs, she had signs of good...

**I think I might be losing my first chicken. I got my inaugural flock of 7 hens (mixed flock) 2.5 years ago. I never realized how much I'd fall for each of them. And how devastating it would be when confronting the inevitable: my first chicken death. I've had some close calls, but I managed to...

Hello chicken people! It’s been a while since I posted on here, but alas, I once again have a chicken health issue. I have a Rhode Island Red hen, 2 years old, with some issues. Her abdomen is swollen and is a little on the firm side (it isn’t hard, but not super squishy - I can gently poke at...

I think my duck has a respiratory infection! He sneezes and you can hear a change in his voice. I don’t have a vet yet, because in my area—there are none that treat ducks. I have to look for a livestock vet according to the receptionist at the local vet’s office. Soooo, I was told to get...

How much of this should I give to a duck and how often? And how should I give it to her. I’ve been treating a duck’s wounds for over a month, I’ve taken it to the vet twice. The most recent time I asked them to check the wounds and see how they looked and if I should give it any antibiotics. It...

Hello! I have a 4-5ish month old small rooster that started sneezing and sounding gurgly, so I have been giving one 250mg Fish Mox in water (large cup amount) everyday for 4 days now and I haven’t noticed any improvements. I’ve also applied vet rx. He has very soft stool with a lot of liquid...

My polish hen is about three years old and has bumble foot. She weighs around 5 pounds maybe even less and we've been treating her with oral amoxicillin, epsom salt soak, betadine soak, and antibiotic creams. She does not have a black scab anymore and we've popped some of the infection out. It's...

I originally posted about my ill, 6 month old BO pullet here. In a nutshell, she went off her feed and was having pretty explosive green diarrhea, often chunky and reminiscent of c. perfringens photos I've seen on the web. Despite all that, she was still energetic (and a huge pain in my ass per...

Hey everyone, so I just picked up some amoxicillin for my chicken who I’m pretty sure has a respiratory infection. I’ve read that the dosage for chickens is 125mg twice daily. My problem is that the pills come in 500mg and are not solid so I can’t divide them up. It’s just a powder capsule. My...

I have a hen who was injured almost two weeks ago by a dog. She had deep wounds and was starting to decline so I put her on some amoxicillin. Does anyone know how long I should keep her on it? It’s been four days and she has shown great improvement. TIA!

I've got a little bantam hen that is 5 months old, hasn't yet layed her first egg, and weighs about 1.3lbs. She is a Porcelain d'Uccle and I was told by a user on here that her symptoms are similar to those of Salpingitis. Before I administer the amoxicillin I want to make sure I have the...

Young roo not responding to denagard or amoxicillin for respiratory issue. Can I give him anything for the severe wheezing he is suffering with? He has been sick for six months or longer with no apparent help from either medicine mentioned. Trying Duramycin start today. I need to help ease...

On Saturday we brought home our first three chickens. On Sunday we saw one sneezing, now a few days later my smallest has a runny nose (clear mucous and not always running), bubbles in her eyes, isn't eating very much, is sleeping a lot, her coloring is very pale, and she is breathing with her...

Please help. This morning i woke up and my one chick ran up coughing and gurgling. She looks completely fine on the outside,but you can hear her lungs rattling. I can't find any animal antibiotics anywhere and decided on using mom's amoxicillin. My question is how much powdered pill do you give...
