If you are using the Duramycin-100 make very sure of the dose you give her. The Duramycin-10 is 1/2 tbls. per gallon of water. I have no idea what the break down is for the 100 as my math skills quite frankly suck, lol. If it were me, I'd be using the Duramycin-10 and going with the 800mg dosing for 3-4 days which would be 1 tbls per gallon and then switching it down to the 400 mg dose for another 6 days. By the 4th day you should know if she is responding to the meds. If she isn't then it's time to look at the other forms of tetracycline or the Tylan. Thankfully, I have never had to open my Tylan. The Duramycin has always worked in the past.Thank you, Haunted 55. I appreciate the input. I didn't have this little one for long, but it still got me right in the heart when she died. Am on the phone with my local TSupply to see if they have the suggested meds. I answered the question "what are you using it for" by saying "to vaccinate sick animals," because after hearing all of the stories about being steered 'in a more helpful direction', I'd probably lose it. Actually, my TSupply lady turned out to be very helpful (whew). They have the Duramycin-100 powder.
I read another thread last night where someone had been treating with SulfaMet & Tylan-200.
And someone else had used Durvet Duramycin-100 (powder) in their water + terramycin in/on their eyes with good success.
TS has Tylan-200 & one of the Sulfas, but in injectible form. I believe that giving thru water would be MUCH less stressful on everyone, especially since they like me & aren't too leary of my reaching down & picking them up. (I'm SURE that a couple of IM or SubQ sticks would change their view of me coming toward them, bribes in hand or not...)
So which is better do you think?
