About a quarter of a pill of Amoxicillin.

How many does she weigh & how many mg is the amoxicillin?

 

[Skipper Carnes]

I am praying for you, but truly don't know what is wrong. Sorry!

Amoxicillin is 200mg. I don't know how much she weighs, but that dose seems to work for other chickens that had infections.

 

[Emily Chickens]

Yeah, my sister is Skipper Carnes. She named her username after her pet silkie Skipper.

Amoxicillin is 200mg. I don't know how much she weighs, but that dose seems to work for other chickens that had infections.

The amoxicillin dose for chickens is 57 mg per pound of bodyweight twice a day for 7-10 days

 

[Emily Chickens]

a quarter of that pill would be about right?

no

Do you know what is wrong? Antibiotics are not helping her at all.

 

[Emily Chickens]

I don't know if she is going to make the night.
Are any of y'all going through the same thing or something similar?

She is a 3-year-old Production Red hen.

A three-year oldhen should weigh about 5 pounds and will need no less than 280 mg twice a day.
