HELP FOR PRIZE ROOSTER

[Wyorp Rock]

Well Tylan 50 dosage is 0.25 (1/4 ml) per pound, so I would give him 2.5 ml (2 1/2 ml) given orally 3 times a day for 5 days. Just give him a little at a time, no more than 1/2 ml, and then let him swallow.) Does he have bubbles or foam in his eye? Tylan is good to treat mycoplasma (MG) in chickens.

Yes a vet at the NC State Agriculture Dept watched the video. We have no Vet close. I just posted a video from today to show the difference. She suggested giving the Tylan injections and I’ve done that since Friday.

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.

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

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...

Tractor Supply would probably have it, are you located in The US?

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.

Tylan 200 dosage is 0.6 ml 3 times a day for a 10 pound rooster. Give it for 5 days. Keep in mind that it is 4 times as strong as Tylan 50.

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.
