This is the best I can do for you on meds. mhttps://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/medicine-chart

Maybe @casportpony can help on dosage.

It says it's Penn G procaine. Procaine is bad for birds, right? I can't find another penicillin injectable without it. Am I missing it? Ugh!

All injectable penicillin has procaine in it,

 

[Miss Lydia]

Do you have any idea on dosage K?

The info I have says the turkey dose is 100 mg/kg every 24-48 hours. That works out to 0.15 ml per pound.

Disclaimer: I have not use penicillin on my birds, but if I did, that would be the dose I would use.

Thank you both so much! I did a little research and it looks like injectable antibiotics are still allowed OTC so I'm going to run by Tractor after my son's trumpet lesson and pick some up. My only other question (after some research) is should I inject into her bump or intramuscular? I've seen where both would work. I'll need to weigh her because I can't even guesstimate on what she weighs. The flu has fried my brain.

Yes, injectable penicillin and oxytetracycline are still OTC.
