PLEASE HELP. URGENT.

If you can give him Tylan 200 at the rate of 1ml per day for about four or five days that usually clears it up. If you can only get it as an injectable you wild need a syringe to use it. It can be given orally on pieces of bread or down his throat. Tylan 50 will work but the dosage will need to be increased to match the Tylan 200. Good luck.

If he has a sinus infection, should I give him AUGMENTIN?
If so, how much? Thats the only antibiotic I have.

Augmentin might work. Dose for him is no more than 125 mg per kg twice a day. How big are your pills?

@Vitoria , you are in Pakistan, right? One of our other contributors, @Zohaib , was able to get enrofloxacin at the pharmacy in Pakistan. I believe it may be sold without a prescription there. He very kindly sent my these photos:





Both of these medications are 10% enrofloxacin in what is sold for injection, the same as our "Baytril 100" in the US. You can give the correct amount orally, but you may wish to dilute it in a little distilled water to be easier in the bird's throat.

You must first weigh your bird to see how heavy it is in kilograms. You can use 15 to 20 mg of mTedicine per kilo that the bird weighs (Thanks @casportpony !) To calculate the dosage, you must first figure out how many mg of medicine are needed for your bird (multiply 15 mg times the weight in kg).

Next, figure out how many ml's of medicine it will take to get that many mg of enrofloxacin. There are 100 mg of enrofloxacin in every ml if you are using this version of the medication at this specific concentration. (Always check the label to make sure what strength you have purchased, as it is sold with different concentrations). You can give it once a day.

Kathy may have more/better recommendations -- mainly I wanted to send photos of the bottles so you can see what may be available in your area.

Hope your bird recovers quickly!

Given orally I would give one of these:

• 0.1 ml per kg twice a day
• 0.15 ml per kg once a day
• 0.2 ml per kg once a day

The 0.1 ml seems to be the most common that people say their vets told them to give.

Thank you so much for the help.
I will keep all this in mind. But. Thankfully, I didnt had to give him any medicine. He recovered in half a day.

He is back to normal, and the sinus swelling is gone. He is eating by himself.

All we did was keep him away from hot weather and fed him food and water.

One question, Is sinus infections recurrent?

Hi @Vitoria , if the bird is all better, that quickly, he probably didn't have an actual sinus infection. I looked at the photos again, and I am wondering if he was injured by another bird pecking at his eye, or catching it on something, or if he may have gotten something into his eye? It looks as though the lower lid is swollen. To me, the lower eye lid looks swollen much more than the sinus area in front of the eye, which looks pretty normal.

If there is any problem with an eye, that is going to create more mucus or watery fluids which may drain out through the sinus -- and when it is very dry, that could dry on the beak the way it looks in the photos. Even an injury will tend to make the eye more watery. In an infection, the discharge tends to be thick or be like pus, and it may smell bad. But pretty hard to diagnose anything on discharge alone.

Sinus infections can be very persistent, and if they are inadequately treated, can appear to re-occur. But an actual bacterial infection in the sinuses probably wouldn't clear up the way this did. So it seems to me more likely that the bird just got something in the eye or got pecked by another bird, and then it resolved.

Does this help?
