I have a silkie pullet that was attacked by a dog a few days ago and lost an eye due to the attack. Today she has been more active but I notice some clear drainage coming from her nostril and some yellowish mucus in her good eye. I have liquid amoxicillin that I got for my cat and would like to start giving her it because I fear she has an infection. Since she weighs less than a pound I am confused as to how much I should administer. Any help would be appreciated!
 
Amoxicillin dosage is around 50-57 mg per pound of weight given twice a day orally for 7-10 days. How much does she weigh, about 2 pounds? Please post any pictures. Sorry for her injuries. Clean her eyes with saline or an eye wash, and follow that with an antibiotic ointment in the eye twice a day.

She weighs less than a pound. I am going to get a more accurate weight when I get home.
