Ducks and Amoxicillin dosage

[DiamondSwan]

As sick as he is, I'm not comfortable suggesting you use the amount I normally use. Is there any way you can have a vet look at him?

Well, I better get the dosages right in the future. How much would you say for giant, large, medium, and small birds?

We do have a vet, but it's my parents that I have to convince...

He's doing way better than he was. But now he has a hard time walking because of the bumble foot under his web... It's pretty swollen and definitely feels warm.

I still have some Lidoject (local anesthetic) and some needles, scalpels, and some other stuff to treat and wrap his foot. I'm going to attempt to remove the pus today after soaking his foot in epsom salt.

Can you post pictures of his foot?

The wormer dose I use varies depending on what worm I want to treat. What worms do you want to treat?

This is where being able to consult a vet would be helpful.

Well, my ducks swim on a pond and we have dogs and cats around our birds all the time, so it's likely that they have more than one type (including tape worm because our cats have had those).

Dogs get dog worms, cats get cat worms, and poultry get poultry worms.
