Baytril for Salpingitis dosage?

[Tanner123]

So I think have the amount right but not sure if I should do twice a day or once a day. I have the 20% powder, my sick hen is 5lb. We have been doing .12 grams once a day for the last 4 days. But doing some research tonight ive seen some suggest twice a day so now im not sure.

Birds have an insane metabolism, you may need to dose multiple times daily and for salpingitis I’d go a minimum of 3 weeks with whatever you are using. As enroflaxacin is illegal to use off label in food animals I’m afraid you’ll have to dig for proper dosing instructions or hopefully someone else can help in this department, just don’t sell her eggs commercially and you’ll be fine, I’d say more but for professional reasons we will leave it at that!

At this point we dont care if she ever lays a egg again. We just want to keep her alive. She is more pet than anything anymore

Baytril is the brand name for enrofloxacin, not meant to be used in chickens for any reason. I hope that if you get it, it will help her recover. Don't plan to ever use any eggs that she may produce after getting this drug.

Baytril (Enrofloxacin) dosing is 15-20mg/kg given twice a day for no more than 5days in row.
