I found the following on the internet, it is for a specific brand of amoxicillin but it does show the equivalency and how much of theirs to put in the water. My concern is that it won't really help what you are trying to treat. I will take another look for you and get you closer to the dosage if you want to pursue. Anne

Description
Paracillin
SP is a soluble powder containing 800 mg/g amoxicillin trihydrate (equivalent to 697 mg amoxicillin) and has been specially formulated to promote rapid and complete dissolution. Paracillin
SP will not block nipple drinkers or water lines. The maximum solubility of Paracillin
SP is 3 g/Litre, although solubility may be increased by use of water conditioner powder.
Paracillin SP Indications
Paracillin
SP is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria susceptible to amoxicillin, including:
Chickens:
- Colibacillosis, peritonitis caused by non-β-lactamase-producing E. coli
- Salmonellosis caused by non-β-lactamase-producing Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica
- Respiratory tract infections caused by non-β-lactamase-producing E. coli
Paracillin SP Dosage And Administration
It is recommended to administer Paracillin
SP once daily via the drinking water, using either a tank or water proportioner. A measure is provided in the packaging which, when level, will contain approximately 10 g of Paracillin
SP.
It is advisable to restrict drinking water for approximately 2 hours (less in hot weather) prior to medication.
Chickens
The recommended dosage is 10-20 mg Paracillin
SP, to provide 8-16 mg amoxicillin trihydrate, per kg body weight per day, for a period of 3-5 consecutive days. The higher dosage is advised when treating severe infections. To calculate the amount of Paracillin
SP required per day, the following formula may be used:
grams Paracillin
SP/day
=
number of birds x average live weight (kg)
_____________________________________
50 (for 20 mg/kg) or 100 (for 10 mg/kg)
Tank Method:
Ensure there is no access to unmedicated water while medicated water is being offered. Any unused medicated water should be discarded immediately after the treatment period.
Make a stock solution, by scattering the calculated amount of Paracillin
SP onto the surface of 5-10 Litres of water and stirring until completely dissolved. Dilute this stock solution by stirring into a tank of water sufficient to provide the volume of medicated drinking water that will be consumed in approximately two hours. The normal water supply should be resumed after this time.
Water Proportioner Method:
To calculate the amount of Paracillin
SP required to medicate the total daily drinking water intake, the following is a guide:
Birds 0-4 weeks of age: 6-12 g Paracillin
SP/100 Litres of water
Birds older than 4 weeks: 10-20 g Paracillin
SP/100 Litres of water
Make a stock solution, by scattering the calculated amount of Paracillin
SP onto the surface of 5-10 Litres of water and stirring. Dilute this stock solution by using a water proportioner calibrated to deliver medicated drinking water containing the appropriate concentration of Paracillin
SP, sufficient to provide the volume of medicated drinking water that will be consumed in approximately two hours. The normal water supply should be resumed after this time.
