Amox for silkie

Have a 1lb silkie that needs meds. All I have is liquid Amox/Clav 400/5ML. Does anyone have the correct dose information? Thank you!

For my silkie, I administered 125 mg, twice per day, 7 days.

That is over twice what you need though for a 1lb. chicken so I'd go half that.

Amoxicillin: 57 mg per pound of weight every 12 hours for 5-7 days.

Be sure to follow that up with probiotics for a couple of weeks.

I hope your silkie gets well soon!
