Gladys is not feeling well.

Thanks to @casportpony she set me straight on the info I found on line about the Baytril and even though it came from a vet it was not correct. Thank you K. Now you need to see how to give meds orally it’s very easy once you see how.

When you get it you will want to give it orally, not in the water, not in the food. The dose most vets prescribe is 10 mg/kg of bodyweight twice a day. If your duck weighs 5 pounds that is 0.23 ml twice a day orally, but go ahead and round up to 0.25 ml (1/4 ml) if you want.

Thank you, I'll let you know how we do on Monday.

She's down to about five lb. The syringe they sent is in ml from 0.5 to 3.

Can you post a picture of it?

I can definitely measure the 0.25 now that I have re-read your earlier comment.

Okay, then give that orally twice a day.
