[casportpony]

I realize this is an old post, but I have a large Bielefelder Rooster that is realllly sick. Upper respiratory. Wheezing, gurgling... Etc. I have Tylan 50, but I am wo dering dosage for a large roo... I am thinking 1cc... Is that too much?

How much does he weigh?

I had 1cc drawn up. He and I are wearing at least some of it. I'll try again in a few hours. He is an EXTREMELY easy-going rooster, but he is not a pet... I didn't think I could do the injection by myself. He did get some Nutri-drench and VetrX, a nebulizer treatment, and is sitting under a diffusing mist with essential oils... Along with whatever Tylan50 he got.

Safe to say he is pretty sick of me bothering him. LOL

If he were mine I would give 1/2 cc *per pound twice a day* either orally or subcutaneously.

1 cc of Tylan 50 = 50 mg.

So, can I put the injectable in water?? I want to treat everyone, as a couple are sneezing... Or, do I need to find water soluble?

Probably better to find the powder. Search for it on Amazon.
