Dosage for Duramycin-100

[honeybeedebo]

I have a two year old Barred Rock who was fine yesterday and is gasping for air today. I went to TSC and got Duramycin-100, as well as VetRx Poultry Aid and Poultry Nutri-Drench. We have brought the hen inside now and she is in a dog crate close to the air-conditioner. My question is how much Duramycin-100 should I give her, how often should I give it, and for how many days? It is an injection formula. Thanks!

Can you please post a photo of the product you have?

I don’t think TSC has sold Duramycin oral for years. Did you get Duramycin injectable?

This is Duramycin 100, it's like LA200, but 100 mg/ml instead of 200 mg/ml.

@casportpony how much would the dosage of that product be for a chicken?

I think the dose is 25-40 mg/kg, once a day, but I am not positive.

That is what I bought. Unfortunately, our hen passed in the night. We think she may have had something else wrong with her. She was a lot smaller than our other Barred Rock and probably only weighed 3 pounds. Thanks for the help.

Very sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear she passed

Sorry that you lost her.
