Tylan 50 injectable for geese?

[Tinabuglaw]

So I have a goose with an infection I believe in the eye. I'm treating him with saline eye flushes and terramycin ointment twice a day. I was told maybe to use Thailand 50 as well the injection form 50 mg per milliliter. It says for use in cattle and swine only. Before I give him this orally I just want to make sure that it's acceptable. I think the idea is 2 CC's for every pound?

Sorry your goose is sick. I would give it orally no less than twice a day. Tylan injections can cause severe injection site reactions.

Dosing options.

• 0.25 ml per pound of body weight orally four times a day
• 0.33 ml per pound of body weight orally three times a day
• 0.5 ml per pound of body weight orally two times a day

Tylosin works best when given several times a day.

It says for cattle and swine only. That's the right stuff right? It's probably just used off label right? I just want to make sure it's really expensive and I don't want to kill my boy

Yes, it's the right stuff. How much does he weigh. If he weighs a lot, you might want to get the Tylan 200 instead. Another option is Baytril. That might be cheaper, and you don't have to give as much.

Im not sure if this will help but swab my geese for AI testing 2 times a year. I dont have help so I put them on a table pull them into my chest and lock there wings in with my arms and elbows on the table making a cave area for them with my body. They have a pressure point at the top of there jaw just like us us dogs ect. I do a little pressure with my fingers on both sides with the my hand under there jaw so I can hold there neck up against me. There reaction is to push back into me which holds them in position. I can then get a deep swab. I do the same with oral meds. Keeps the pull away down and the head shaking.

He's like 15 lb but we don't have 200. It's on back order. And there's only one store around here.

He's about 15 lb but that's all available in my area.

I really think that you need to give it orally. What size syringe to you have?
