Huh,oops, maybe I am under dosing-wow, that Duramyacin takes alot of it to make a galllon. It isn;t a very strong antibiotic-

I am treating my roo with it - he's in similar shape as yours. I mix his daily in a water bottle. By my calcs, I use 3/8 tsp in a 16.9 oz bottle. That way I'm not wasting a whole gallon.

I do suggest that you do your own calcs to confirm.

Ok, maybe, I will try but my Buffs drink and eat a lot- so I might just do the gallon, thanks for the dosage

Wouldn't it be sooooooo much easier if all meds came in liquid form, lol.

There was a link posted by a forum member for durvet.com,did anyone look at it? The dose on website for Duramycin 10(tetracycline HCL powder)is: 400 mg dose use 1/2 TABLESPOON per gallon of water, 800 mg dose use 1 TABLESPOON per gallon of water.

If you want less half the dose/water. 400 mg dose :1/2 gallon(8 cups) - 3/4 tsp. 4 cups - 3/8 tsp(1/4 + 1/8 tsp)
800 mg dose - 1/2 gallon(8 cups) - 1 1/2 tsp. 4 cups - 3/4 tsp, 2 cups 3/8 tsp (1/4 + 1/8)

I am already doing that.

It is bacterial! My male Buff died so my dad dissected it and found no worms, but found an inflamed liver, and green hoppy stuff. Definitely bacterial. We are going to try to save the female, she will hopefully recover. She is not pale, but her comb is EXTREMELY large, and she is normal otherwise... I am hoping to treat my whole flock with Duramyacin 10, Finnaly, I have a hope for my flock!

Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) can cause pale enlarged combs and wattles. During necropsy there can be red, green, and brown blot clots on the liver, and blood clots and an abnormally large amount of fat in the abdomen. This syndrome can be treated with vitamin E and selenium. If another bird dies, I would defintiely try to get a necropsy done by the state vet.
