Chicken gurgling

[leetfreq925]

I am hoping it doesn't get to the injections if the bread method works. She sounds just awful down there but I guess I just have to wait and hope the tylan kicks in overnight! Nothing more I can do. Thanks again for the help.

Whatever happened with this hen? I have a gurgler right now...

 

[leetfreq925]

The tylan did the trick for both hens who were sick. They both received the injections and after about 3 days the gurgling subsided and they recovered! If you have a gurgler I would definitely segregate her and get her on the antibiotics immediately. Is it just one for now?

 

[6girl]

Yes just one hen, I've separated her from the flock. She seems to be resting easy and a bit less gurgley, hoping I don't have to use Tylan.

 

[leetfreq925]

Keep a close eye. Mine went down fast. At least she's separated and won't infect anyone else. I was told to completely clean the coop to make sure no infection was still there. Was NOT an easy task and I at least had above freezing weather. I don't know if it's even possible for you but a suggestion if she is indeed sick to keep the others safe. I hope she gets better!

The difference is potency in the dosages. If I were to use it, I'd use the tylan 50 if available. Here's a link:

Tylan 50 has 50 mg of tylosin in each ml or cc, where Tylan 200 has four times as much or 200mg per ml/cc. Many feel that tylan 200 can be damaging to the breast muscle where it is injected.

How much does he weigh? If he were mine I would give .6cc - .8cc per 2.2 pounds (30-40mg/kg).

Disclaimer: I have only used Tylan 50 once and the amount I used was based on this info in Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook:
