It is unlawful for anyone besides a veterinarian to prescribe medications. You should give your vet a call and let them know that the other birds are now exhibiting the same symptoms, and they will tell you the correct dosing for those little birds.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Reply to Vicki's Post: I have a vet, she is not in today or until monday. I wanted to know if anyone could tell me the amount of meds for my finches. This did not help me at all. Sorry, I need an answer sooner so I can get this under control before they get any sicker. Thank you very much for your time. Sincerely, Jackie. I thought vets answered the questions on here.
