The *most* I have seen recommended is 40mg/kg, that's 1.2 cc's for a *large adult* male. Not positive, but I think the more commonly used dose is closer to 30mg/kg. To calculate dose for Tylan 200, weight of bird in pounds, divide by 2.2, times the mg/kg you want to use, divide by 200.Tylan 200 2 cc's every other night for 3 doses; and this was his last dose...he was way better; perhaps I should've left him alone. ;(
all the vet said is there were more then 10 not sure what that means and all I could find in town as everthing was closed bu the time I got there was amprol 128 20% soluble powder I mixed 1/2 teaspoon in a gallon of water this would equal 2.19 grams is this the correct dosage. I can get corrid liquid in the morning but would like to get them started with this right away
You also need to mix it in their water - 2 teapsoons per gallon.Found some liquid Corid! 0.4 cc per bird x 5 days is our plan... Hopefully this works!
I did bring him inside.. We are treating upper respiratory infection/?pneumonia... Some of their eyes were swollen/mattered **** and breathing thru their mouths, with some of them gurgling. But like I said, the rest are better, thankfully!!!
How wretched, so sorry! Am not one of the experts, but wanted to ask if you could give any specifics as to how/where you gave the injections? It sounds like you were doing the best thing you could for him, and the antibiotics were needed, so it's a hard thing to have happen
I have a vague recollection of reading over on the UPA forum some time back that there is a possibility of tissue damage from antibiotic injections... but not sure you had much choice under these circumstances. You might try researching over there on Tylan, but I didn't find anything really helpful when I just did a quick look.
Hang in there.
Just wondering if maybe I hit a nerve, and hopefully this is all temporary. And NO avian vets around here to help. And we've already lost two peafowl this week from their disease.

How AWFUL, I am so sorry you are going through this. Hopefully someone with more expertise will chime in soon, but in the meantime, supportive therapy is smart.
I went back to the UPA site and searched some more... apparently tissue damage/deterioration at the injection site is always a possibility, but again, sometimes there aren't any good choices
Here's hoping he gets better soon
He is 1 1/2 yrs old. Tylan 200, 2 cc's every other day x 3. That was the last dose.
thanks for the response/advice I'm going out to collect fecal sample they are going to do the fecal float and said if they cant find anything they will send a sample off to the lab the cost is 25.00 to 30.00 dollars which is a small price to pay to save my birds also I asked about your suggestion of trying baytril and penicillin as baytril is by script only they said they would check into it as far as my other peacock she said maybe hit a nerve and give him a week and see if he gets any better again thanks for the advice
the closest vet that we have that knows anything about peafowl/birds is 250 miles away so we have to communicate via phone. we live in south Dakota. we are thinking maybe we hit a nerve not sure though we tried going just under the skin and not injecting into the breast muscle as it could damage the muscle. we used 25g x 5/8 needle as far as the dose if I should me doing it different I will there are so many different opinions on how to do it. It is so hard to find anybody in this area that knows anything about peafowl/birds so any advice or help is greatly appreciated
