tl;dr BANTAM hen ORAL dosage of duramycin 200 injectable liquid?
I recently picked up a new 8 month old bantam cochin pullet! Her name is Biscuit, and I think she inhaled some spit-up during the transfer. It's been three days and she's still "purring" while she breathes. No discharge from eyes or nares, but she very occasionally cough/sneezes. She hasn't laid any eggs. She eats and drinks normally, and there's nothing amiss with her crop, droppings, weight, or activity. She has been bathed and closely inspected for abnormalities.
Three days seems like a long time to gurgle-breathe. I couldn't find Tylan 50 at any of my nearest farm stores, but I did obtain Duramycin 72-200 injectable liquid. I'd like to give it to her orally, but dosage information is wildly inconsistent everywhere I look...
How much is safe to give her? Or would a different antibiotic be preferable?
Thanks!
