Hello! I have to give Oxytetracycline to my 4 cochin bantams for Coryza and I’m a bit lost with the dosage. Let’s see if you can help me understand. Each of my chickens weighs around 400g, they’re small. So in total they’re around 2kg.
The box says “400mg of product per kg of animal per day”.
So if they’re 2kg they need to take 800mg a day in total. But! I don’t know how much water they drink. And what is 800mg in “coffee spoons”? Something I can visualize, I can’t weight 800mg at home.
In the box it also says that once you’ve mixed it with water for them to drink it can be there for a day but not more, so it should be as accurate as possible.
Thank you guys
