Hello. Is this the accurate dosage mg for amoxicillin 300mg daily? I have a 3.12 pound barred. Think she has an internal infection and want to make sure of the correct dosage. Trying to help her recover. She is a sweet bird. ThanksI think the amoxicillin dose for chickens is 125mg/kg twice a day or 100mg/kg three times a day. 1kg = 2.2 pounds, so unless your bird is small, you probably aren't giving enough.

3.12 pound dose:
3.12 / 2.2 x 125 = 177 mg twice a day.
Thank you. Should we go 3 days or 5 days just to be safe with 177mg a day? Should we double the first dose like they do for people most of the time?
Amoxicillin is usually given twice a day for 10 days. Give 177 mg *twice* a day.
Will do thank do you.
I was searching and found this thread— could I use this for my chicken? She seems to have an abscess in her face between her ear and beak, it’s like a marble and she seems miserable. I’m hoping some antibiotics will help. Your thoughts are appreciated! She’s not coughing or sneezing or having any discharge. Just a big hard mass under her ear.

Can you post a picture and let me know what she weighs?
You can use it, the dose for chickens is huge though. You can give 0.71 ml per pound of body weight twice a day for 10 days.
It’s hard to tell from the pics, but if you look at the one of her from the front you can see that her left side is swollen up much bigger than the right. I’ve never weighed her so we are going to go do that now. Thank you for your help!

Hello Kathy!
Do you know if there is an updated link for this. I realize it was 2015. The page is not found...
