Welcome to BYC. Can you call a vet's office for info? I can't find much info except one that says to medicate for 30 days. There is a K-sol solution for water that you can google for directions. It may give mg per day dosage.

Sorry for your loss. When I had a rat problem, I bought some locking rat poison boxes, putting them outside the coop and run. Just One Bite is the brand that I used, since it is supposed to be safe in case another animal eats the dead rat. I keep replacing bait as needed, but it has completely taken care of my problem, and I have never lost a chicken due to poison. My coop in in an old barn that had some tunnels underneath it, so my problem was pretty serious.
