Amoxicillin dosage aspiration pneumonia

[RoostersAreAwesome]

I have “fish mox” amoxicillin and am wondering what the dosage would be for a bantam hen with possible aspiration pneumonia.

A friend of mine believes his hen aspirated a couple days ago. Initially, she was gasping and lethargic, but now she’s acting normal. However, I still think it’s a good idea to treat for pneumonia. (Unless it would be better to just let her be?)

Since the hen is acting normal, dont do anything. If there's a relapse, Amoxicillin dosage is one 250mg capsule once a day for 7 days for a bantam.

Oh, I forgot to update! My friend’s hen continued to act normal and is doing great, no amoxicillin needed.
