Thank you for providing this information. The doses listed on the PoultryDVM website for amoxicillin and its different forms and formulations are indeed different than what I previously mentioned. As stated earlier, any variations in dosage or use of medication should always be determined by a licensed veterinarian. While general dosage recommendations may be found online, a veterinarian is best equipped to make specific dosage and treatment decisions based on the individual bird's weight, age, medical history, and condition.
