How long for Tylan to work?

[Bubblegum85]

I have a sweet girl named Twiggy. She's one of 6 babies we got end of February. She's about 11 weeks and weighs a little under 1 lb. She's always been the smallest hence the name Twiggy because her legs look like twigs lol.
Anyways out a week ago I saw one of her eyes was bubbling and she was acting lethargic and barely eating. I separated her and treated her with some electrolytes and a quiet spot with lots of food and water. He appetite came back and she's eating well. Her poop is normal too.
About 3 days ago she keeps her eye shut and she has so much clear drainage that when I check on her in the morning her whole side is wet. I started treating her with Tylan 50 .25mg 3 times a day orally. Today is day 3 and her eye maybe looks a little less swollen but she isn't opening it and today her other eye is looking a little squinty. She shakes her head a lot and opens her mouth wide every few minutes. Should I have of seen improvements by now? How else could I be helping her. I checked her eye and I couldn't see any foreign object inside. I flush it daily just in case.

How is she doing?
Try putting some eye ointment like Terramycin in the eye.

The yawning is interesting, have you checked to make sure her crop is emptying overnight and have you looked inside the beak for lesions or canker, what about the ears - any infection or lice/mites inside the ears?

As for improvement with antibiotics - it all depends on the cause of the symptoms. Tylan50 will treat symptoms of bacteria like disease like Mycoplasma. If it's a virus, then the medication usually will not help unless there's secondary bacterial infection.
