The dosage on the pack definitely states 1g of powder per 10kg body weight - poultry included. Hope it doesn't do anything horrible to them! They were stll sneezing and wheezing last night - I'll check again in a few minutes when I shut them in - hoping to see some improvement soon.
Often, medications are cut w/ fillers or other ingredients to aid in delivery or improve effectiveness ... could be that yours is 10% active ingredient ... something folks often forget to consider, when calculating dosages. Even if it's not, and the vet prescribed far more than is req'd? Overdosing isn't much of an issue w/ amoxycillin ... not aware of any potential harm it could cause.
As for improvement? You might not see any, as the direct or immediate benefit of the antibiotic, but you should certainly continue it for the entire prescribed period, and at the same prescribed level -- never stop taking or giving antibiotics just because the symptoms appear to improve.
::edit:: Unless, of course, there is some negative/allergic reaction, for which you should seek medical advice immediately ::/edit::
