h how much Duramycin-10 do I give her she is 1 week old and how do i administer it she is with 7 other chicks

FYI: Duramycin 10 is mainly used for respiratory diseases. Respiratory diseases easily spread to other birds.
Dosage is for the 400mg dose is 1/2 tablespoon per gallon of water for 7-14 days. Dosage for the 800mg dose is 1 tablespoon per gallon of water for 7-14 days. It would be best to cull the sick bird and keep an eye on the others IF in fact it's a respiratory disease you're dealing with.
