Thanks! Gonna try to figure out the mg/kg on that!

Oh sorry 3.76 kg

 

[casportpony]

Oh sorry 3.76 kg

Okay, I think that works out to ~5 mg/kg (2.27 mg per pound).

That is a good antibiotic, but not sure if it would be good in this case.

Edited to add: Just read @onaharley 's post, so maybe it is a good one for this.

doxycycline

How much doxycycline?

For the rimadyl dose for her duck?

For the rimadyl dose for her duck?

If I did the math correctly, yes. Your duck weighs 3.76 kg and is getting ~18.75 mg
3.76 x 5 / 12.5 = 1.5 ml

Check my math.

How much does the OP's duck weigh?

I should have edited that post. Saturday I found out that we used the cholramphenicol and the doxycycline together.

We are doing the same this time.
Chloramphenicol 250 mg
Doxycycline hyclate 100 mg

Morning dose is 1.5 ml rimadyl, 1 250 mg pill of chloramphenicol and HALF of a doxycycline pill

Night dose is 1.5 ml rimadyl, one 250 mg pill of chloramphenicol and one whole pill of doxycycline
