The vet books states that you can give 50 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg.
It's your choice which dose you use but you still need a weight on the birds.

1 ml/cc is the 200 mg/kg dose for the bottle you have.

Hahhaha thats how much it weighs exactly the same

At 8 weeks my standard Swedish Flowers averaged 1 1/2 lbs.

Can you take a soda can and hold it in one hand and hold a bird in the other and guess if the bird weighs less?

I'm thinking outside of the box here...
anyone else care to chime in on how much a 6 week old chick weighs?

What breed are they again?

Did some research a pint is a pound and 473 ml is a pound so yeah my chick is a pound

Here is the math for a one pound chick.

If you want to give the 50 mg/kg dose you give 0.1 ml/cc.
1lb divided by 2.2 times 50 divided by 200 = .1
If you want to give the 200mg/kg dose then you give .45 ml/cc.
1 lb divided by 2.2 times 200 divided by 200 = .45
Make sense?

Not quite so if she is a pound should i inject her with 0.2 cc to tje breast and by the way how many times is it once daily or once every 3 days ?

 

[Kiki]

No not .2 cc....
You have to decided which strength dose you want to give.
A or B?

I would follow this vet book.
I personally would use the 200mg/kg dose daily for 3 to 5 days.

Actually I don't think I would use either.
I personally would cull.

 

[Kiki]

Option A is .1cc
Option B is .45cc
For a one pound bird.

The 50 thing and 200 thing are not on the bottle. They are coming from the Plumbs vet book.

 

[Kiki]

The bottle is showing that there is 200 mg of medicine in 1 cc of it. The vet book says to dose at 50 mgs per kg weight of bird.
I'm sorry I can't explain this well.
