What bacterial infection are you treating?
How many birds are afflicted and what ages?
Where are you located?

No. You don't mix medications.

If you are going to treat the Sick Bird then choose one. Finish the course of treatment to see if it helps.

I think you have a couple of other active threads and suspect Mycoplasma. If I were going to try to treat the Sick Bird I would use the Tiagard (Tiamulin) to see if it helps. Tiamulin will treat Symptoms of Mycoplasma in poultry.

I would not treat any other birds that do not have symptoms at this time. Getting testing as suggested is a good idea, this way you know what you are dealing with.

I do understand that some DO treat their whole flock with Tiamulin (Tiagard/Denagard) on a monthly maintenance basis, but usually they have had confirmation (testing/necropsy) that they have an MG+ flock and the medication is used only for a couple of days a month to help control symptoms so they do not have an outbreak. These folks also keep a closed flock.

I'm very sorry that you're dealing with sick birds, it's unfortunate that you ended up with something in your flock. I also understand it's distressing, but it would be wise to slow down, take a deep breath and think things through. Do some research, reading and get some testing done.

The UVL Biotech, the ingredients are hard to find, but there's an older thread below listing them. It's not something I'd mix with anything else.

I am having to treat one bird and was wondering if there is a syringe dosage available because she is not drinking a lot of water she is in a cage.

Dosage for what? The Tiagard (Tiamulin)?

Sweeten the mixed Tiagard water with some fruit juice or Karo Syrup.

Does your bird have Mycoplasma? Tiagard only treats Mycoplasma in poultry.

She sounds raspy when she breathes. I was told to use Tiagard for respiratory infections.

Tiagard should help if you are dealing with Mycoplasma.
