Poor little woody. I am glad you got her out the cats claws.
The dose for Amoxycillin is 50-80 mg/kg bid. You will have to weight the bird. For the kind of infection it has I would give the higher dose. The 250mg tablets are mixed with 5cc water. So, I guess the 850mg's could be dissolved in 17 cc's. That should give you 50mg amoxycylin/cc. Reti

Thanks a million for that Reti. And that'll be BID correct?
I gave her her first dose late last night, and this AM she is much better. She smells better too  The scab on her head looks like it will be ready to separate soon--it is mostly already off and the skin underneath looks tender but healthy. Her foot mass is smaller. And the cat wounds look normal--still open etc but no infection. She also seems to be eating and drinking. Phew! I still can't tell if her wings are damaged but she doesn't seem to be in pain. Although she is still losing a lot of feathers, but presumably just ones that were loosened/ dropped during the attack. Will keep you posted!
