Oxytetracycline dose (tbsp / tsp)

[Goldendreams]

Is the yellow in the normally white urates? If so, that can be a sign of liver problems related to EYP. It is hard to know if it is too late, but you can get 10% enrofloxacin liquid here:

Dosage is 0.05 ml per pound or 0.25 ml (1/4 ml) orally twice a day for 5 days.

What if it's pooping white liquid and no eggs?

Oxytetracycline 37%






This package weighs 280 grams
Package contains 102.4 grams oxytetracycline

102.4 / 280 = 0.37 , which means that it's 37% oxytetracycline and 63% filler
370 mg per gram
One teaspoon probably weighs 3 grams, so it's 3 x 370mg = 1110 mg per teaspoon
The 800 mg dose for one gallon = ~3/4 teaspoons



Oxytetracycline - 343 - 76%







102.4 / 135.5 = 0.76 , which means that it's 76% oxytetracycline and 24% filler
760 mg per gram
One teaspoon probably weighs 3 grams, so it's 3 x 760mg = 2280 mg per teaspoon
The 800 mg dose for one gallon = ~1/3 slightly rounded teaspoon

Thanks for this other version/dosage. I'm administering now and am glad I read the whole thread.

Qquestion about the oxytetravet dosage. I have a 100mg bag. That's the weight anyway. Would the dosage be the same at 2tbsp per gallon? It just seems like sooo much and I don't want to overdose them. But I want to make sure they get enough and not just build up an antibiotic resistance or something. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
