Dosage for Enrofloxacin for a 4lb hen

[Chickadee1982]

I just received a 200ml bottle of Enrofloxacin. My Spanish is a little rusty and i need to know the exact dosage for a 4lb hen. It's the oral liquid. Please help! TIA

Hi.

Why are you giving a hen anti biotics? And why would you get something that wasn't labeled in English IN the US?

A google search turns up lots of info...

Looks like it is a generic name for Baytril. Hope that helps you some and that your hen recovers from whatever is bugging her!

I already read that article. This bottle was ordered for me. I didn't know i am going to end up with a non English version. I want to use it for a bacterial infection. I just need to know the exact dosage.

The company is a very good one and apparently so are their meds. I just don't know the exact dosage for a hen of 4lb.

So you weren't able to find it by searching Baytril info?

@casportpony or @Eggcessive are both peeps with extensive medicinal knowledge.. maybe they can help you.

Off topic, but the Sussex in your profile pic is a pretty bird... or maybe Orp, either way.. beautiful.

I haven’t used enrofloxacin, but Casportpony has several threads with sources and dosages. Here is a thread—check out post #7:

Casportpony has helped me a few days/ week ago. The hen in the pic is my Anna (Jubilee Orp) She's the affected bird.
I looked up all info i could find. The stuff i have is 100g/l.
I was advised to use 0.4ml orally. Twice a day. Just trying to see what others say. Thank you

Thank you! That's what i figured. She weighs 4lb. So she got 0.4ml.
