Does anyone know of a substitute for Tylan 50/200?

They must have stopped making this stuff because it's out of stock EVERYWHERE for the last year at least. Is there any other OTC antibiotic injection that you would suggest using for chickens? I've looked online, in stores, at the vet, nobody has it anywhere.

It's unavailable, but injectable penicillin is still available. Try this as a source of antibiotics, and add them to the water. Doxycycline is similar, but a bit stronger, and broader spectrum than Tylan. Look in either their bird section, or in the fish section. https://www.thomaslabs.com/category/fish-antibiotics

Antibiotics are being phased out of most farm stores, so many people now have to buy from pigeon supply stores or fish stores (above). Here are a few links to other websites with antibiotics. I personally have used enrofloxacin and it works pretty good.

I believe you can only get tylan by a vet. I had one of my pullets in to the vet yesterday and he gave tylan.

Oxytetracycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic you could try.

Here is Tylan (tylosin) powder for the water without a prescription (so far) that is in stock:

Dosage is 1 tsp per gallon for 5 days, and make sure they drink plenty of the water.

I've been treating a hen with Tylan 50 and she is doing better. I too have been on line trying to find more as my bottle is running low. Sigh, all these government regulations. Even vet supplies that require a script for the stuff don't have it in stock. Sigh :*(

Try Jedds for the tylosin powder in post 6. They have it in stock now, and it will make 20 gallons of liquid. It won’t be long before we cannot get any antibiotics, even for pigeons and fish.

I want the injectable. I don't want to give it to them all; just one needs the shots.

I saw some Tylan 200 at TSC awhile back, but most people cannot find either the 50 or 200 at all now. They seem to have stopped selling it everywhere. You could use the powder and calculate an oral dosage. They do still sell injectable LA200 (oxytetracycline) refrigerated at many feed stores.
