OMG What is This?

Whatever works for you is fine. If you have 500 mg capsules for instance, opening the capsule and putting it into something like cream cheese and mixing well, you would have 2 doses for a 5 pound chicken, or 4 doses for a 2.5 pound chicken. Knowing her weight is helpful. Use a kitchen food scale or digital scale.

I have one that had a lash egg. Many publish that the time from lash egg to death is anywhere between a few days to a few months, but mine is at 15-months. A lash egg is evidence of a bacterial or viral infection, however, more than 90% of the time it is bacterial. My vet has her on 250mg/5ml, 1mL per day for 10-days (liquid, I do it by syringe), but when she went off and lash egg material reappeared, we now do pulse therapy. The only "real" chance of allowing the antibiotic to get rid of the infection is an implant, luprolide acetate injections or a Salpingohysterectomy (too much anesthesia risk).

I now have one with reproductive CA. My vet cannot do luprolide injections or suprelorin implants because it is not approved in the United States (it is in other countries). However, I found a source outside the US and am doing luprolide injections myself for both. The implant or luprolide allows the ceasing of egg laying to give their bodies a fighting chance to overcome the infection. In the case of CA, it is just buying more time.

In summary, our chickens have been bred to lay 12x more eggs than they do in the wild. The constant irritation causes constant inflammation. The perfect environment for infection and cancer.

Interesting, thank you. I have a four and half year old girl, which is a decent age for an hybrid, I believe..She laid her first lash egg around 18 months ago. I had no idea what it was at the time, but when she did it again a couple of months later I did some research. She started to look really unwell shortly after so I treated her with amoxicillin. Although she's no longer as agile as before she still eats and drinks well and loves lying in the sunshine. I have now just started this girl on antibiotics.
