First off, as a disclaimer, I'm not a vet and amikacin is a potentially nephrotoxic drug. Depending on the animal, fluid therapy is recommended, and as usual, you really should see a vet.
BUT, amikacin is a specific drug and Exotic Animal Formulary breaks it down to lizards, chelonians, crocodilians, snakes, and even types of snakes (pythons, colubrids) and also to disease, deep penetration/abscess and pneumonia. I'd need more info to get you a safe dose.
