0.1 ml of 100 mg/ml = 10 mg
10 mg/kg - 1.135 kg x 10 / 100 = 0.11 ml
15 mg/kg - 1.135 kg x 15 / 100 = 0.17 ml
20 mg/kg - 1.135 kg x 20 / 100 = 0.23 ml

edited to fix typo!

Thank you Kathy. Sometimes things just aren't as clear as they used to be. Thanks for your patience.

hi,

i just got some baytril 22.7mg x1 a day from a vet. he diagnosed a respiratory infection.
but he didn't weigh the chicken though, so i'm a bit suspect of the dosage.

using the 10 mg/kg guideline (thanks BYC !!)
she's 2.6 lbs (2 lb 10oz) or 1.2 kg
means she only need HALF of the prescribed dose => 12mg !
correct ?

Based on what I know, the dose for her would be 1/2 tablet twice a day, but your vet might have a reason for giving 1/2 tablet once a day. I would call him and ask.

Hi! One of my sweet little hens has a respiratory infection, and I have Baytril 10% oral solution for her. She weighs 1250 grams (or 1.25 Kg) I understand some of the basic math, but I'm afraid of messing it up. Can you guys help me calculate her dosage, please?

 

[casportpony]

1.25 x 10 / 100 = 0.125 ml twice a day
Or
1.25 x 15 / 100 = 0.1875 ml twice a day

If not noticeably better after 72 hours, stop treatment.

Thank you casportpony! This confirms my own math, as I came up with the same dosage. I feel better now! I will watch her carefully for 72 hours. Thank you again!

Oh good! If it's gonna work, you should see a drastic improvement in 24 hours.
