I have two actually. A 5ml and 10mlView attachment 1133570

grind one whole 500 mg tablet and add to 10 ml of suspension. Give the silkie 1 ml of it, and give the 3.5 pounders 1.6 ml.

Wait, I thought you said it weighed one pill at 0.7 grams?

I actually just went back to check and i tested it using smaller objects but it won't weigh anything that goes lower than like two decimal places like the .7 for some reason so yea my bad

Are you for sure for sure?

Have someone double check my math, but it's pretty simple math, so pretty sure I got it right. one 500 mg pill plus 10 ml of liquid means you will have a solution that's 50 mg per one ml, right? What 50 mg x 10? 500 mg?

then the formula is weigh of bird in pounds, divide by 2.2 (this converts to kg), times desired mg per kg to give (in this case it's 50), divide by number of mg per one ml (this case it 50).
2 pounds / 2.2 x 50 / 50 = 0.909 (round up to 1 ml)
3.5 pounds / 2.2 x 50 /50 = 1.59 ml (round up to 1.6 ml)

Hmm that looks just about right. I'll just double check with one of my math nerd friends to see that they have to say

If they say it's wrong, tell them to explain why.

That looks right to me as well. The calculation I suggested before was for 100mg/ml, assuming a 1cc oral syringe. With the syringe sizes you have, I'd go with the mixture that @casportpony suggests. Also, consider adding some 1cc oral syringes to your chicken med kit. They're really useful and can be gotten just about any pharmacy or online.

Metronidazole is quite stable once suspended. Just refrigerate after making it.

I actually thought that the ones i had were those until i looked them up Anyways @casportpony and @Leihamarie thanks again for helping me! It's really appreciates especially since not only are you guys helping me but probably others who might be going through the same issue as well and stumble upon this thread! I'll write down those new measurements and keep this thread updated.
