10 mg/kg once every 24 hours.

1 kg = 2.2 lbs

So let's say it's an 8 lb chicken.

8/2.2 = 3.6 kg

3.6kgx10mg/kg = 36 mg(ish).

This is oral dosing.

There's also the question of whether amoxicillin would be the best antibiotic for the situation. Is it all you have?

She is a very strong hen so before you doubt her just know she is a survivor. I need to know if i should say goodbye or keep treating.
The sitch:
She has been treated for 5 days
With saline rinses, vetricyn, amoxicillin, aspirin, neosporin, and she eats food and drinks like normal

I feel confident about some of her injuries but there are a couple places im seriously thinking are going to be her end.

1. Neck injury. Skin was stripped and she has a giant flap exposing her trachea and past suturing and could create bacteria.

2. Side was also skinned and there is a flap.

Omgoodness ... This far is an excellent sign, eating and drinking... absolutely!

gentian...great idea

One ingredient in blu Kote is genetian violet. I’m not saying to use it on such an extensive wound, just letting you know for future reference.
Good luck with your girl. I’m amazed at what chickens can survive.

what if my mom has some left over human antibiotics in her cabinet?

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Depends on what she has.

Is the wound getting better or no?

Most human antibiotic prescriptions work splendidly for animals, too. You just need to figure out the correct dose. I do 250mg per day when I use amoxicillin, and it's good on most gram positive and gram negative bacteria. (Broad spectrum antibiotic)
