Okay maybe eyeball it and give him just a tiny bit more than about 1/5 of a mL. Make sure from someone else though first just incase

Okay here is Baytril dose by weight
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/another-bumblefoot-post.1492463/#post-24896429 this is for treating bumble foot but I’m thinking dose would be them same.

So he should take it twice a day? I did the 0.5 ml he did really great at taking it, thank goodness! His is an upper respiratory and I think some kind of stomach issue since he’s had diarrhea.

That’s the dose. I am treating a chicken hen for bumble and she’s getting Baytril 2x a day for 5 days

Thank you so much, I never would have known that if I wouldn’t have asked about just the regular dosage.

Let us know how your gosling is doing. Hopefully the Baytril will take care of it.
