My hen escaped and came back badly injured

Clavamox is good, and you can get FishMox (amoxicillin 250 mg tablets) and cephalexin online at Chewy.com pretty easy.

Without a prescription?

I definitely have Doxycycline. Its a 100mg capsule, so can I open one up and add some sprinkles to water for her?

Yes, without a prescription, since they are for fish. Some pigeon medicine sellers online also sell some medicines.

I actually think I have cephalexin from when I was sick. I know I have human antibiotic pills of some sort. One is Doxycycline.

Either of those would work.

Worst case scenario, I suppose, is that my cat takes Clavamox when she gets sinus infections and it is that time of year...

How much of that do you have?

12-24 mg per Kg (each 2.2 pounds of weight daily is the dosage for doxycycline. But not sure that would be as good for wound infection, as clavamox. What are your thoughts @casportpony?

Okay, already answered.

I think the doxycycline dose for chickens is 12-20 mg per pound. How much does she weigh?

:lol we both posted at the same time! I think the Clavamox would be better, but if it's for a cat I don't think there's enough.

This is what a vet prescribed for a 340 gram chick:

Someone want to do the math? I gotta go cook dinner.

I currently dont have any Clavamox but can probably get it easy enough, but it would be prescribed for my cat. I think Marsala weighs about 2#. Im going to weigh her tomorrow morning to start watching for weight loss.
