Help... Sick Turkey tom

[casportpony]

It's very possible that I'm missing it as my eyes are going buggy trying to read so much to figure this out but where does it say how long to give it for? Maybe if I can send her a copy of the page that would help.

Ok... Got it, thank you. She has just under a quarter of a bottle that I can buy. Any chance you could help me figure out how many CC's. to give him. The scale I had used to weigh him last was a digital bathroom scale so I'm not sure how accurate it is but it said he was 18 lbs.

Post a picture of the bottle and I will help you come up with a dose.

Okay, If he were my 18 pound turkey I would give him 20 mg per kg in the breast muscle once a day.
The math:
18 / 2.2 x 20 / 100 = ~1.64 ml

Ok... How many CC's of sub q fluids do you think we should give and is there anything else besides the fluids and the baytril that we should start now? By the way thank you so much for helping!

Have you given subcutaneous fluids to birds before and where do you give them?

I've done subq under the wing and the back of the neck.

You're positive on this dose correct? Only asking because it's way higher than the vet had dosed Turks at last time we treated for blackhead. I always like to double check
