Chicken not getting meds in water, put in tube feed? How much?

[luisrosa411]

My bird has had ongoing infection. I’ve given Tylan in water and I’m tube feeding. But because of the water in tube feed, I suspect she’s not drinking the meds. Should I put some of the med water in the syringe for the tube feed? How much in ml?

I’m also looking at mixing Tylan and denagard has anyone done that? The manufacturer indicates that’s doable. Any idea on the dosages?

I wouldn’t mix Tylan and Denagard, just use one or the other. Denagard tastes very bitter, and needs to be sweetened to get them to take it. They both treat MG. Do you have Tylan liquid or the powder? How much volume are you tube feeding and how much does your bird weigh?
