How much do they weigh?

The *minimum* effective dose is 30mg per kg and there are 250mg in one pack.

• 20 pounds = 9.07185kg, so 9.07185kg x 30mg = 272.1555mg, that's more than one pack.
• 15 pounds = 6.80389kg, so 6.80389kg x 30mg = 204.1167, that's a little less than one pack

One pack for anything 15 pounds or less will be fine, but anything larger you'll need more than one pack for.

I am dealing with this now. I got the fish medicine and my turkey is about 25 pounds. How do I mix the packet? How much water do I use. I also got safe guard aqua sol, but don’t know how to dose that either because he’s not really eating or drinking much!

The General Cure.

The Vet put him on SMZ but he’s still not acting better. He initially had yellow diarrhea, lethargic, not eating or drinking much. The Vet took a stool sample and swabbed his throat but we haven’t heard back yet. His poop change to white and now a liquidy green with a little solid mixed in. But he still doesn’t really move much.

At 25 pounds, he needs two packets a day for five days. Double-check that the packets are 250mg metronidazole.
