Duramycin-10 dosage for one chicken and possible ileus

[prncs13]

Hi,
I have one chicken that I need to give antibiotics to but the pouch I have is 6.4 oz and I don't know how to dose for her. She is 5 lbs.
The package says a 6.4 oz package will make 100 gal containing 100mg of tetracycline hydrochloride/gal.

I just want some water to mix with porridge to make a mash that I can give her to eat. How many times a day and how much water should I mix with the mash.

Some one just told me to mix 4 tsp of the powder into 1 gallon and give her some mash once a day.

Basically her butt feels kind of fluidy and the vet mentioned ileus. She didn't have any bacteria in her poop but thought she might still have a bacterial thing going on so we are giving her the antibiotics and Metacam (for discomfort). Her exam went well, no masses or anything.

Any help or ideas is appreciated.

Michelle
