What is the dilution ratio for using amoxicillin solution to disinfect a turtle?
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, not a disinfectant, so there is no fixed disinfecting ratio; the right dose depends on the product strength and the turtle's weight. For treating infection, it is given by mouth or by soaking: about 12 to 25 mg of 10 percent amoxicillin per 500 g of body weight by mouth, or 1 g per 1000 ml of water for soaking, once daily.
