Powdered Duramycin (oxytetracycline) antibiotic in water

[casportpony]

I have two tsp sets.

Set One
1/3 tsp weighed 1.08 grams, so 59.4 mg

Set Two
1/8 tsp weighed 0.5 grams, so 27.5 mg
1/4 tsp weighed 1.03 grams, so 56.65 mg

Hope that helps.

If your bird isn't drinking very much, is there a certain dosage you can you to feed with a syringe by mouth?

Yes, you can give it orally, but you need to know the weigh of the bird.

I have a scale, so that's not a problem at all. I weigh them all when I deworm them.

I think the max daily dose is around 40 mg/kg. do you have one you want to treat now?

I do yes.

She's roughly 2kg but I'll weigh her to be sure. I do have a small scale that will weigh .1 grams and up and a scale for weighing birds.
