There are no vets on this board as far as I know. I doubt a vet will just give that information out, either, since they spent thousands of dollars and years of their time being given that info. You could try calling some herp vets here in the US or other countries, but I'm going to say I doubt they'll give you that info.
Most of the time when people talk about antibiotics on this board, the vet administers them or the turtle owner is given a syringe that is prefilled with the correct amount. I don't think any of us, or any turtle owner for that matter, would know how much is given. Honestly, the correct thing to write in your book is that if your turtle gets a respiratory infection, it is fatal unless treated with antibiotics GIVEN BY A VET. There is a reason that people go to school to become vets and doctors and why regular people like us don't get that information on our own. Otherwise, we would all be self-treating, which would either kill us or make super-bugs.
