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

[Kiki]

I read that Covenia is not recommended for use in birds because of the incredibly short 1/2 life. I think this is mentioned in one of the two links I posted.

Anyway, sounds like you've tried a things. Can you try giving the rooster booster orally instead of in he water?

If your vitamin bottle is like mine, and you were to follow the max dose of 5 ml/100 pounds, you could probably give her 0.25 ml very safely. Use of this drug in poultry is not documented, so that's why I'm hesitant to say "oh, just give x". I personally have used it in a few at 0.25 ml per pound.

She gives you a dose in this above...for the vitamin. I think you missed the last part.

So... her scabs were only sitting on top of the flesh so i took them off. This isn't pretty. And i am not sure what can be done. Her whole beak is exposed all the way to the back of her jaw

Oh man.
No pus?

Try Googling "avian medicine" and the name of the vitamin you want to give. If you had asked for dosing on Baytril, metronidazole, Safeguard, Valbazen, ivermectin, or something like that I could give you all of those doses, but for some reason there isn't much info on this injectable b. As I said earlier, I think it's safe to use the max dose on the bottle.

I know the dosages for all of them. I couldn't find much info on the injectable b vitamin other than on a fighting gamecock thread. Which seems reliable. But it's an old thread and they don't show for how long either.

@centrarchid Would be be able to recommend a dosing amount for injectable vit B?

There was pus at some point. Not sure if that was pus at the soft tissue or just softened whiter tissue from the scabs being half way attached and were getting wet from her eye tearing up. I irrigated it with gentian violet and peroxide. Vertericyn VF hasn't helped, nor did Neosporin ointment on and in the eye. Peroxide was the ONLY thing that worked when one of her scabs gone pus rogue next to her comb and nothing would stop it from festering. So i hope it helps with this one as well. She was not able to see her water the scab was obstructing her view and she seemed confused.

This is what you ordered:

I am going to try to compare the amounts with this:

My Anna weighs 4.6lb. I figured 0.08cc woulf be a good dosage? For how many times? How long?
