HELP! Tylan 50 dose for sick pullet PIC of needle

[Jenski]

I believe 100 units = 1 ml (cc). I tested this some time back by actually squirting 100 units into a ml/cc syringe I had. Please feel free to double check this with a health care professional.

Ok i got it! I asked her how many units that needle was. She said a half. I said so 50 is 1/2 , Yes so give her 25 that will be a quarter. So i gave her to little is that ok? Should i give her more tonight or just .25 tomorrow and add a day. I gave her .05. Boy i am glad i am not a nurse

 

[Jenski]

Did you weigh your pullet yet?

 

[Sillystunt]

I only have a cruddy scale and she is well under a pound. So i gave her .25cc

That's correct. Each mark is 1/10th. If you want larger syringes or needles, I have to be in Winter Haven, Thurday at 3pm.
I can bring you 1cc syringes with a 5/8" 25 gauge needle or 3 cc syringes with a 3/4" 22 gauge needle.
I have extra needles, too, so you can re-use the syringes.
I'll be at the vets on Overlook Drive. My ferrets needs a shot. I come in from Lake county on hwy 33 & take 17, then 544 to 542 to Overlook.
If you want to meet at the Home Depot or somewhere else easy for me to find.

Give me a shout if you want the stuff. Here or pm.

Incidentally, the needles are not marked by volume, the syringes are

That's amazing, considering how big Winter Haven/Lakeland is.
My vet is Orchid Springs Animal Hospital http://www.osahvets.com/
Dr. Vargas is my friend. She has some chicken knowledge, too. She helped us out with a dry pox outbreak several years ago.
One of the smartest ferret vets in Florida. Been with her for 12 years. I have other vets, too. Sometimes, they like to go on vacations and you will always have an emergency. (Usually Saturday night, lol ) That's just the nature of having animals!

Anyhooo, let me know if you change your mind. Truthfully, I can't imaging giving a chix a shot with those diabetic needles. I have bent them double on these tough skinned ferrets. BUT, I have never given a chicken a shot. I have no idea how tough their skin is, let alone the issue of feathers!

I did pretty good with the needle. Used it a couple of times! they are VERY thin though. My other leghorn has it's eye shut like the first. Doesn't have any breathing issues. Really strange though. I need to get up to TSC to get the kind you put in the water. I am just afraid they are all getting it and to give each one a shot, figure out who is who...YIKES!
Glad to have this stuff though for really bad issues! And i am over my fear of needles

now to process chickens

Ruth, the next time you come down here we will have to meet up!
