Cefpodoxime 200 mg is 10mg per kg of body weight.
That’s tough on a tiny little hen. I haven’t weighed her, but I’d imagine she’s only a pound. That’s about half a kg. She’d only need 5mg. Not sure how to get that out of a 200mg tablet.Cefpodoxime 200 mg is 10mg per kg of body weight.
Okay good to know. I’d prefer not to even give the to her, holistic brain over here, but I am more concerned about the consequences if I don’t get her antibiotics.Yes, you can hold off, or get some 250 mg amoxicillin and give quarter of that. Do you have any other antibiotics?
One step ahead of ya. All come up as a go. I diluted the people dose in a smaller of water, than used about a tsp of that to make a dough ball with some chicken feed. Put 1 tiny drop from an Oil of Oregano capsule in that dough ball as well, and I probably only got half of it in her. She wasn't into me popping that into her beak. I'll continue that daily and we'll see how it goes.Run each of those herbs through a search for toxicity to poultry before giving to a chicken.
Worked great! I didn't have a syringe that would fit her tiny beak, and this worked quite well.Genius! Gotta remember that!
