dosage confusion

[burt4750]

I have been giving my silkie Poultry Cell in her water but she does not drink much so I want to start giving it to her by syringe. I've read on BYC that 1 mL is the dosage. My syringe starts at .1 mL and goes up to 1 mL. I just want to make sure I'm not overdosing her by giving her a full syringe full of the Poultry Cell two to three times a day. Please advise.

Sorry for the ignorance!

Poultry Cell dosage is 1 ml per every 3 pounds of weight. That would be up to the 1 ml mark for a 3 pound chicken. It is about 1/5 of a teaspoonful. But silkies are usually smaller than that. Mine weighed about 2 pounds I think.

Thanks! You made it a lot clearer!
