Hi there,

I've done a bunch of research, especially on this site's forums and the responses are great! However, throughout my digging I have not been able to find the answer to this follow up question,

How do I know if the Tylan 200 worked? Will it be an immediate back to health or no? What should I be looking for in the treated birds?

My seemingly healthy chickens have been removed from the obviously unhealthy chickens, but everyone is getting injections just to nip it in the bud.

I have seem multiple dosage recommendations and have chosen

.20-.25 cc of Tylan 200 injection once a day for THREE DAYS.

So my follow up question is now what? After three days (which will be tomorrow), are the obviously unhealthy ones going to look and act miraculously better?

Should I move any "unhealthy" ones to the "healthy" coop if they make that ideal turn around? I don't want to contaminate my "healthy" ones!

If the "unhealthy ones" don't get "healthy" after THREE days, do I give them more Tylan? Or is it time to say goodbye? (I know that sounds harsh, but their chest rattle cough/sneezes are terrible, there's bubbles in their swollen eyes and vomit)....

The healthy ones have bright eyes and do not cough/sneeze. But I understand that they can be carriers none the less.

I really appreciate any feedback on what to do after day three!!!
 
I'm not sure about medication amounts, ect, but I hope there is some one out there who can help.

Best of luck!
 
If using Tylan on chickens, I would perfer the Tylan 50 since it is 1/4 the strenghth, and may be more gentle to inject in the breast. If you are using it orally, then 5 mg per pound once or twice a day per pound is about right. With respiratory diseases, many will make your whole flock carriers for life.
