Chicken with bad infection on mouth/face (was Vitamin B complex injectable dosage for chicken)

[Eggcessive]

It looks like she weighs 2 .2kg (4.6 pounds,) so the dosage according to the chart should be 0.25 ml or 1/4 ml, right?
Is your insulin syringe 1 ml or 100 units? Then give 1/4 ml or 25 units. Please make sure the insulin syringe is 1 ml.

I came to the party a bit late, but Kiki, why are there posts about thiamine (B1) and posts about how much B12 rooster booster has in it? I thought we were talking about thiamine.

Because OP stated they found dosing info on a game bird thread and game bird peeps give doses of B12.

Okay give 1/4 ml or about 12-13 units.

And the b complex is not labeled for poultry and the rooster booster is so I was trying to compare the two...as far as the amounts of b12 the b complex stuff has in it bs the product labeled for chickens has in it.

I am so confused! lolol
My friend figured out per her vet, that thiamine is 4ml/ per kg. Nothing else. She came up with the dosage of 0.08cc because of that and the bird's weight. I posted here to see if anyone used the particular item i have ordered for their birds. Since it isn't for poultry BUT for kettle etc.
I need to now the dosage so i dont overdose her. I need to see if a severe vitamin deficiency causes her scabs to go rogue? I have tried everything possible for nutrition. If she ever gets better? Scratch grains are going to be off the menu, for everyome. My other birds are all beyond healthy. Everyone has shiny luscious plumage and is in exceptional health. I just incubated 10 eggs. All 10 hatched. All in great health. No pasty butt, none had deformities. I just cannot figure out what is happening!!!!! My birds went through fowl pox whilst my Anna was in the house. She had fallen ill 3 weeks prior to everyone else getting the dry pox outside. She was in the house by then. She was re-introduced a few months later and everyone else shared a feeder and a big waterer. No one else has it. I just don't know anymore.

Yay?!? Lol
I should?

 

[casportpony]

but 4mg of thiamine is still a measurement of the thiamine. I am not sure how that translates to the dosage, which is ml.

If you want to give thiamine at 4 mg/kg the math is 4.6 pounds / 2.2 x 4 / 100 = 0.08 ml

I think she got fowl pox and it just hasn't gotten better/gone away.
