I had it prescribed in the past as Advocin and if memory serves the dosage was a 5mg/kg subcutaneous injection every other day for 3 days.

I know it's used in cattle and poultry. If you can't get a vet to clear up the dosage guidelines, I'd try to find out what the poultry duration of treatment is.

FWIW, Advocin did jack squat for the outbreak I had and the duration was doubled. Ceftazidime eventually cleared it up after a proper culture identified the strain and it's susceptibility.

Good luck.
It has been cultured. I was told to use baytril and fortaz which helped, but after 2 series did not get rid of it. That isn't good news about its ineffectivness, I had to order an entire bottle as my vet didn't have it, 175.00!

Maybe I will just have to keep trying the ceftazidime, it seems to have done the best job of anything.

Thanks,
