Is this one 10% or 100 mg/ml?

-Kathy

100 mg per ml

 

[Zohaib]

I will assume this is 10%. If so, you could give this *orally* at 0.01 ml per 100 grams twice a day.

It's exactly the same as Baytril 100 -- I looked it up last week

Here's a link to the manufacturer:

Also, when we do the math, it comes out the same -- 100 ml of the 10% has 10 grams of med. Divide each side by 100 and we get that 1 ml has 100 mg... exactly the same as Baytril 100. So the 10% oral solution is also 100 mg/ml

Your math is spot on! Oral dose I would use is 10 mg/kg twice a day, which is 0.01 ml per 100 grams (I think).

For treating these little tiny guys, I think the easiest way to do it is to make either a 1% solution or even a 0.5% (1/2 of 1%) solution and then give the necessary amount, after weighing the chick and figuring out how many mg each chick needs.

You can make a 1% solution in a clean (preferably sterile) container by putting 9 ml of distilled water with 1 ml of the 10% oral enrocin. That gives you 10 ml of diluted meds, and now each ml will only have 10 mg of medicine instead of 100 mg. So the correct dosage for a chick is much easier to measure using a 1 ml dosing syringe and the diluted medicine. Pretty easy to overdose a little one at 100 mg/ml, just because measuring the tiny amount is so hard.

That is how I do it for anything under 100 grams. Note that, as you said, the 9 ml of water *must* be distilled since enrofloxacin will bind with calcium and that will make it less effective.

understood, thank you so much Garden peas. I hope they will survive because they are not lazy till yet eating and drinking on their own plus how many days medicated water should be given to them?
