Proper dosage of Duramycin 10?

[casportpony]

I am treating with duramycin...how long do I leave meds in water? Do I change every day and remediate or one day? Thanks

Probably best to make fresh daily and keep the waterer in the shade. How long? If it's working, I would say 2-3 days past cessation of symptoms.

So you keep supplying the medicated water for multiple days until symptoms are gone and then 21 days after that to withdraw eggs?
thanks

Has anyone given Duramycin 10 orally? If so at what dosage and intervals? I have a sick Roo who will not drink the waterer mixture. I even put a pinch of strawberry or cherry jello in it to make it more palatable.

I think you would have to give it twice a day, but I'm not sure what the dose would be. How much does he weigh?

I had issues today with duromycin but it was with our new pullets. What about giving him VetRX? It's for upper respiratory and other issues, prevention.
Good luck I hope little guy gets better soon.
