My little Indian Runner got bit by a fox or coon (not sure what got him). He has a puncture wound on his upper hip. No vet will see him or help me. I have some Doxy 100mg and some Amoxatabs 50mg from other animals on hand. My little guy is about 1.5 pounds. Please help me. How much can I give...

oh yes. everyone is locked up for the night. but sometimes when its raining the ducks want to stay out and play. i can usually get them in after giving them some extra play time lol.
