Generally, water soluble powders are near worthless.

The only thing I have found that works through the drinking water is Sulmet.

For what you have you'd be better off to dose them with Liquimycin or Noromycine. Just give the shot in the breast. The cough should be over in 24-48 hours.

If not then you may have something more extensive. You'd need to check with your State Vet. If you hear a rattle or even worse a gurgle then watch out. You are in trouble.

Buy several 3-4 cc/ml syringes. They are usually .50 each. Don't reuse them. Give the shot in the thick part of the breast. It's easy.

Dosage depends on which of the above you can find.
