Good info here, but it does not list dose:

The Merck manual says the preventative thiamine dose is 4 mg/kg. What thiamine do you have?

-Kathy

Thiamin as thiamin mononitrate. 100 mg/tablet. It's a b100 complex. Just drove 2 hrs 1 way to get it.

Try dissolving one in 100ml of warm water. How old is the duckling?

This has dosing info:

[casportpony]

If one 100 mg pill will dissolve in 100 ml of water, that means that each one ml of water will 1 mg of thiamine.

Not sure how much I would give, maybe I'd give up to 10 mg/kg? How much does it weigh?

You must have a awsome husband. Mine is good until the smells drift thru the whole house. Mainly with the last duckling hatch. There were 12 of them. I must admit that I was ready for them to go out. With the chicks, I can even sneak a hatch in. I got a little hatch happy this year. 3 hatches totaling 28 of my own eggs. Now 32 shipped eggs. Runners from Cyndi and SWH from Sfraker. Then I'm finished ........... Until next time

OH don't give him any credit, He complains, whines the whole 9 yards but puts up with it because I take care of them all.. I'm collecting duck eggs but MAN I can't find them. But today, I found one and it was COVERED with ice, I'm still going to try and hatch it. LOL
