HELP FOR PRIZE ROOSTER

[Cryss]

Just keep in mind the one instruction out of my previois google quote:
"you can dose orally 5-7 days, but not longer."

Good advice from @Eggcessive

NC also have 4 state labs - Raleigh, Monroe, Elkin and Fletcher/Arden, you might want to contact them to see if they can do some testing to find the cause. Ask them if they can accept swabs to test for Mycoplasma, Infectious Bronchitis and ILT. http://www.ncagr.gov/vet/ncvdl/
Since he is a show rooster, I would not show him again until you find out more information since most respiratory diseases make birds carriers for life - you don't want to contribute to the spread of disease.

One more thing, if you haven't done so, I would definitely take a look inside the beak for any lesions, white/yellow patches, etc.

I'm sorry he is not well, he's beautiful. I hope he starts to get better soon.

Ok the vet just looked at him in Raleigh and he needs Tylan 50. Does ANYONE HAVE IT I CAN BUY?? We are out and can’t find it Anywhere...

Tylan50 is really hard to find right now. Ordering Tylosin would be your best bet. "Tylan" is the "name brand" of Tylosin. https://www.jedds.com/shop/tylan-soluble-100-g/
I wish I had some, I would send it to you

Sometimes, my TSC has Tylan 200 in stock, but it costs at least twice as much (but is 4 times stronger.) The link that @Wyorp Rock posted says it is in stock today, but they may be closed until tomorrow AM. It takes a couple days in shipping.

Why didn't the vet get the tylan 50 for you? Why would he prescribe something he cannot provide?

He is out of it and the manufacturer has it on backorder. He was hoping some pharmacy may still have some in stock. They changed to a different drug by mouth that I picked up when we realized The WHOLE USA is out of it.

RIP Sir Big Boy..

 

[Diamondpfarm]

I'm sorry for your loss

Have you considered sending the body for testing to find out more information?

Yes NC State University is interested in him. I will then bury him here on the farm.

@Eggcessive Is their a possibility for sour crop?

 

[Diamondpfarm]

How can I tell if there is something in his crop?? His throat and esophagus has a small lump in it but my husband swears that’s normal??
