Duramycin 72-200 HELP

[esoaksranch]

Hi I have some "hoarse" chickens and some that are sneezing. I picked up Duramycin 72-200 injectable today and was needing a dosage! Please help!

idk about the injectable but you can call the manufacturer and they should help you figure it out. I did that when I was trying to figure the dosage for something and the manufacturer was very helpful. The water soluble kind you want to use 4 tsp per gallon, Duramycin is pretty weak.

For respiratory symptoms like you described, Tylan 50 is recommended. 1/2 cc under the skin on the back of the neck. If the bird's over 5 lbs., give an additional 1/2 cc in the breast muscle. If you have many birds to treat, mix half Chlortetracycline powder with half Gallimycin powder dry in a jar. Add a generous teaspoon per gallon of water for 14 days. Look up Chronic Respiratory Disease.

I got Doxycycline oral from my vet 2.7 ml for a 5 lb RIR hen that has been suffering severe respiratory symptoms. She seems to have responded well . Not out of the woods yet but the rattle and sneezing has abated and she is eating and drinking after not eating for several days. I am hopeful.

did you ever figure out the dosage of this? I just picked this up from the feed store because they did not have Tylan50. once a day or twice a day? thanks for any help I cannot find a dose?

I found a site that said to give a full size chicken 1cc with a 22gauge needle. Within 12 hours they were remarkably better.

Mine have a terrible respiratory infection. I went to tractor supply too and this is all they had so I picked up a bottle and search for help online. I was only able to find one person that said to give 1cc of Duramycin in a 22gauge needle directly into the breast muscle of the chicken. If you have never given them a shot before there is a lady on YouTube that has a fabulous video on how to do it. If I had not have watched that video I would have definitely given it to them too high, probably right in the crop :-/. Within 12 hours they were remarkably better. The odd thing is the ones that had the worst symptoms actually had the most improvement. I tried all of the herbal remedies that Tractor Supply sells before I resulted to the Duramycin but I was afraid if I went any longer they would not make it. Here is a before and after video of my worst rooster 12 hours after I injected him. Both of his eyes are sealed shut and I am still working on getting them open.
Before:

12 hours after the injection:

Good luck!

This is a cattle medication, a long-acting injectable oxytetracycline given once either by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. So directions for chickens is not listed in the directions. It lasts for 3 days. Here is an old post by someone about LA 200, in post one, pretty much the same medication:

For chickens you give them 0.5ml, I split that in half for each side of the breast, definitely be careful and make sure you hit the breast meat
