Capsules, and the dose is huge, it's 57 mg per pound of bodyweight for 7 to 10 days.

Do you have a place that you recommend for purchasing it? I am buying supplies tonight.

How much do your turkeys weigh?

Well, I have 1 female Royal Palm turkey, she weighs 12 lbs. I do have LOT'S of chickens as well...

To treat her, you would need two of these:

Give 3 tablets twice a day 7 -10 days.

If she is a pet, another option is Baytril:

12 pounds gets 0.8 ml twice a day for 3-5 days.

Okay, @casportpony how much would my adult chickens get of that?

My other question... on the Calcium citrate... does the female turkey get 630 MG of the Calcium Citrate? Or does she get a higher dose?

Again, I am learning a lot that will help me in the future, thank-you so much!

@casportpony ...nevermind about how much the chickens take of the amoxicillin, I saw how much they get in another thread.

I am curious about how much Calcium Citrate the female turkey gets though...

Did the other thread say 250 mg a day? If so, that's wrong. They get 57 mg per pound twice a day for 7-10 days.

How many mg are your tablets?

Yes, the other thread said 250 mg, I believe.

I haven't actually bought any medication yet, I have it in my Walmart online cart for me to pick up tomorrow.

Woops, forgot to say, the calcium citrate that I am looking at is 630 mg

That is incorrect, it's 57-69 mg per pound twice a day for 7-10 days. That is what vets prescribe, and it's what's listed in all of the veterinary text books.

The turkey can have a whole one if she has been drinking enough water.
