Have a look at the link mate,hope it helps.The vet should have told your mate what he was prescribing and labelled the container.

I think all prescribed medicines legally need to labelled with: the date, vet's name, what the 'bottle' contains & how much. Also the treatment - how much medication is to be given and for how long.

 

Length of course of treatment should give a clue to when to expect improvement in the birds.

Your friend needs to get a culture test done to find out which antibiotic is suitable as there are different strains of E Coli serotypes i think there called so you need the right antibiotic for the one your mate has.E Coli is usually a secondary infection there could be something else there like a Virus or something else.

of course they can as theres so many different strains of it but i think the vaccine covers the most common
