Oxytetracycline dose (tbsp / tsp)

[Chickenbone woman]

Yes, 1.25 teaspoon to one quart gallon of water is correct!
But you said it was injured, is oxytetracycline the best choice then?

A quart or a gallon?

Can you use the liquid with chickens???? It’s all the feed store had, unfortunately.
I was going to do /mix the powder into their water, with the doses y’all have discussed. But I cannot find anything on the liquid form of it

Welcome To BYC

Do you have LA-200? If so, it would need to be injected. Here's more info.
Good Luck.

I have a question. What if you only have the injectable version of Oxy available. What is the dosing in water for a flock?

If it's injectable, then it needs to be injected.

Thanks Kathy!!
I'll give my chicks the higher dose, of 800 mg !

But the point I wanted to make is the picture you posted says the dose for 800 mg equals 2,5 tablespoon per gallon, but in reality (see my calculations) it's 1/4 teaspoon. That's a big differance, and I just wanted to share this to other ppl so they won't overdose their chicks !

Hello Kathy,
Sorry for hopping onto this thread, but I don't yet completely understand how to use this site and I don't know how to contact you directly. I have the Durvet Duramycin 72-200 injectable. I saw on a separate thread that it also can be given orally. If this is correct, can you please advise me on dosage for a tiny Serama chicken? I estimate his weight to be 6-7 ounces. Thanks!

I'm not sure that it can be given orally, and I am not sure what the dose is. I thinkI remember hearing that it was 40 mg/kg, but I don't know where that was. Maybe you could try 25 mg/kg twice a day?

Seven ounces is 200 grams, so the math is:
0.2 x 25 / 200 = 0.025 ml twice a day.

Thank you! Also, further down your attached chart, I see there are line entries for poultry that show both feed and drink. I may also get the water soluable powder form.
