This book says the dose for poultry is 100mg/kg IM once a day every two days.

So many different doses. I really wish there were a standard dose. We are giving .1ml every evening and tonight is day 4 and we haven't given her the injection yet, but will in a bit. We are going to go ahead with tomorrow's dose and then stop. We also have her oral antibiotics in her water on the first day and accidentally have her a much too high dose, but it was only the one day. She really was torn wide open by the hawk and shouldn't have survived, so I am betting that she was exposed to massive bacteria from the hawk's feet and beak. I am hoping the antibiotic dose was strong enough to kill the bacteria but not too strong for her poor, battered body. She seems to be doing well so far, so I am going with it, but I feel like we got lucky for sure.

Subscribing to save the info. Kathy, you always have such valuable information.

FWIW, the only properly published dose I have seen is 100 mg/kg, which is 0.15 ml per pound.

I've seen several sources including the bottle that states a max of 4 days. Do you know if there is a required waiting period in the event that retreating is necessary?

The bottle is labeled for cattle and swine? Other species may vary.

Yes, labeled for large livestock, but the same concentration as what you referenced above. I looked at the avian resources you posted above and I cannot find duration of treatment. Have you come across any specific info on that?
