Still no idea what’s going on with my hens comb and growing black spots

I would give it as the label says. Normally with amoxicillin capsules the dosage would be 125-250 mg given orally twice a day for 7-10 days.

The edges of some of the scabs on her comb and wattles seem to be lifting now. The tissue underneath appears to be very pale, no bleeding.

Not really seeing any changes under her vent yet, though. It’s still pretty yucky.

She does seem to be up and about slightly more. Still pretty dragged down but not huddling as much/hanging out near her flock mates more.

Today will be day 3 of the monistat for sour crop. Still has a bit of a water balloon crop- hoping that will get better soon?

The amoxicillin arrives Thursday, but I am not sure how to dose it. It is a 20% powder. @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock any tips for dosing?

With the vitaking respiratory mix (smz-tmp ,tylosin,doxycycline mix) I was doing 1/8 tsp twice a day.

She seems more interested in food today which I’m taking as a cautiously good sign.

I agree, with the 20% Amoxicillin powder for birds, follow the dosing on the label.

Hopefully the crop issue will resolve. Keep up with the Miconazole for a full 7 days twice a day.
She can eat normally if she's willing.

Sounds like the comb/wattle scabs are healing up and ready to start coming off soon which is good. Pale tissue underneath sounds pretty normal.

You're doing good taking care of her, I'm hoping she'll pull through this! Thank you for the updates.

Sorry the label says to mix into a gallon of water, so I’m not sure how much to give her directly as a single chicken dose.

Sorry I wasn’t very clear- the reason I’m confused is the amoxicillin package says a dose of”per gallon of water” but since I am only medicating her I am unsure how much to give her individually as a straight dose.

You can make a smaller batch than 1 gallon, that will be o.k.
