No watery eyes, "runny noses", or breathing issues in anyone else....yet *fingers crossed* I'm going to do another run through when I get home from work. I'm also going to gut the coop tomorrow. I'm less than impressed with the alfalfa hay bales I bought. They always feel damp even when dry. I think I'll just toss pine shavings down the rest of the winter. Anyways, What dosage do you recommend on the Tylan? I've read anywhere from .25cc - 1cc. Going somewhere inbetween, I was thinking .25cc for my marans that are going on 3 months old and .50cc for my 10 month old girls. My route will be injecting into the breast. Times like these I'm thankful I work in the medical fieldDo you recommend Tylan twice a day for any symptomatic birds? Some threads I've read up on say twice....some say once.
I'm mad at myself for not bringing her inside and doing something right away. I was a bit devastated. I'm ticked off because I should have brought her in and pushed some vitamins and kept her warm. She was acting fine aside from a few physical symptoms, so I decided to let it ride out. Not my greatest idea ever.
I put it down in the crop, once a day, 1ml for large birds, .5 for young LF birds or bantams. 5 days. I don't inject in part because then you will ruin the meat if you want to butcher the bird later, that tissue will need to cut away. The down in the crop method shows improvement in 24-hours. If you have a sick bird and after 48 hours they haven't improved, I suggest culling. Some of that respiratory stuff is like wildfire and once they are down they are better off gone.
Like I said, this weather we have had, though it has been mild, has also been damp and hovering right around freezing but not quite brings on the kind of humidity that is just not good for bird keeping.
I wouldn't use hay or straw unless you have a really good way of cleaning it out in winter. I use shavings inside and straw in the outside.
LOL!!!
