Could you post a picture of the bottle? What's the mg per ml?

150ml novamoxin 50mg/ml

How much does this one weigh?

Maybe I should clarify, the duck, not the bottle, lol.

I’ll have to weigh him later, I’m “at work” (working from home but it’s time sensitive so. I can’t right now). I’d guess 1-2lbs but that’s a world of difference. I realize we need a more accurate reading. He’s 5-6 weeks old to give you a rough idea.

thanks again.

Let me know once you have it!

Just so you're aware the dose you are giving would be for a 0.8-pound duck.

0.8ml per pound of duck?

The dose for Amoxicillin is 125mg/kg every 12 hours.

You have 50mg/ml

So..

Weight of the Duck (Kilo) X 125/50 = *ML

I bet your duckling weighs around three pounds, so the dose would be.

3.4ml twice a day.

Still get an exact weight.

Will do. Thx. If my syringe is too big (wide diametre) to put down his throat, do you have any tips ? I’ve been squirting a few drops into his tongue then closing his mouth for him to swallow it on his own but it has a tendency to dribble out the corners of his mouth.
