Victoria, If the Amoxycillin is in solution (i.e. liquid), and you've had it all that time, even if refrigerated, it will have lost its potency. It would be best to get a new batch. For the future, you can get the Amoxy-drops powdered and not reconstituted from your vet and keep it on hand to mix up when needed. As for the Duck Soup, I don't have the recipe handy, but there are many on this list that do -- Ann Davis and Suki Crandall immediately come to mind. I'll try to dig it up tonight just in case you don't hear from anyone else quickly (though I'm sure you will).
