I know the drill. I don’t have a scale yet because most stores are closed due to the hurricane damage. However, I have two babies clicking. They may have aspirated from the previous caretaker feeding them. I only have access to Doxycycline Monohydrate. I need to know how much antibiotic to give these babies once I get a scale. I would love for someone to send me the equation for dosing. Thank you!

I sent dosing directions assuming weight of 175g so you can start getting a dose into them but a photo would help to conform general weight.
