Fowl Pox side effects?

[Eggcessive]

There are only 3 kinds of Tylan--Tylan 50 and Tylan 200 which are injectable, but also used orally, and powder which is only used orally, mixed in water. The dose is usually about 1/2 to1 ml or more, depending on the size of chicken. Tylan 50 contains 50mg per 1 ml. 10 mg per pound is a good way to remember the dose. A 5 lb chicken would get 1 ml. A 7 lb chicken would get 1.4 ml.

I find the mixing of the powder kind rather confusing. I haven't used it, but the directions I have read for that is 2 Gm (not mg) in a gallon of water for 3-5 days.

Ruthie , Tasha, and especially izy, would like to thank everyone on BYC for giving me advice on how to help them survive fowl pox
Everyone is now happy, healthy and clucking.

You're welcome
It was weird though, izy was the only one that got it bad. Tasha(black one) only had 2 or three spots that didn't get very big then fell off and healed up in a few days. Ruthie had the eye problem but never had any other symptoms. Never found an explanation for that.
