..if ever you cannot find a poultry vet, try calling a wildlife/ bird rehabilitator...they should know alot about avian issues and perhaps give you a little medical insight if you are in a pinch.

THIS IS JUST A BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF TYLAN 200

THANKS AGAIN JOHN
DESCRIPTION: Tylan 200 Injection is a sterile solution of tylosin base in 50% propylene glycol with 4% benzyl alcohol and water for injection. Each mL contains 200 mg of tylosin activity (as tylosin base).

ACTIONS: Tylan has an antibacterial spectrum that is essentially gram-positive, but it is also active against certain spirochetes, large viruses, and certain gram-negative organisms (not including coliforms). It has also been found to be active against certain Mycoplasma species.

WORM CONTROL MEDICATIONS MENTIONED IN THE SAME WEBPAGE DRUG INFORMATION
Just thought everyone else might like to know it too


WAZINE
For use in drinking water for the removal of large roundworms (Ascaridia spp.) from turkeys, chickens and large roundworms (Ascaris suum) and nodular worms (Oesophagostomum spp.) from swine.
VERM-Xhttp://www.verm-x.com/
Ivermectin is used in the treatment of certain worm infections. It is used to treat river blindness (onchocerciasis) and a certain type of diarrhea (strongyloidiasis). It may also be used for some other kinds of worm infections. SEEMS TO BE IN MANY FORMS
IVERMECTIN
Ivermectin appears to work by paralyzing and then killing the offspring of adult worms. It may also slow down the rate at which adult worms reproduce. This results in fewer worms in the skin, blood, and eyes. [i]USED IN HUMANS AS WELL IS USED FOR A VARIETY OF PEST INCLUDING MITES SCABIES IT SEEMS TO COVER A BIG RANGE OF PESTS BUT IT CAN KILL THE ANIMAL TOO (DOSAGE IS THE KEY) IT REALLY SEEMS TO BE A DRASTIC STEP TO ME BUT I DO NOT KNOW ALOT ABOUT THESE MEDICATIONS

I do not want to get to far off the subject but I was just struck by the sales persons cavalier attitude about sulmet and that it is actually very potent. Some of these drugs cause death major neurological issues and even genetic mutation, it is scary.
Here is an artical I found
