I'd give her a whole Calcium tablet for a few more days. Generally 1 tablet is 300mg +/-.

Poop like that, I'd give an antibiotic if I had something on hand. Amoxicillin would be a good choice.

If she's not laid an egg, the I'd give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for a week to see if she's able to expel an egg or lash material.

Unfortunately i do not have any Amoxicillin. She has not laid an egg in over 2 weeks. She is also molting. Attaching the Calcium bottle. I will start giving her 1 pill

If I can get some Amoxicillin how much should I give her and how many days?

 

[Eleni12]

I got 875MG tablet of Amoxicillin. How much should i give her?

Good, one of those Calcium tablets will equal 315mg.

Amoxicillin dose if 57mg per pound of weight given orally twice a day for 7-10days.

Do you know how much she weighs?

 

[Eleni12]

She weighs about 5 pounds

 

[Wyorp Rock]

She weighs about 5 pounds

So her dose would be 285mg twice a day.

Since you have 875mg tablets (are they solid or capsules?)

I'd crush a tablet (or empty a capsule) into 1teaspoon coconut oil, mix until well incorporated. Divide this teaspoon into 3 equal parts, roll each one into a ball or pill shape. Put in the freezer and let harden. You now have three, +/_ 291mg Amoxicillin "pills" ready to give. This is what I'd do, 291 is close enough to 285, you have a bit of wiggle with dosing. (Of course you can make more if you wish, I'd just keep them frozen so they are easy to administer just a like a pill).

Does this make sense?

Yes that makes sense. I have pill form. She is starting to stand more and walk about 5-6 steps. Her poop has started to be more solid but green.. not green everytime though. She has taking Amoxicillin for almost 2 days now. Attaching pic of poop from this AM
