How much Tylan should I give ?Injectable

[Carter Critters]

From the link you provided it says use Tylan but it doesn't give a dosage ..do you have any recommendations?

There must be a dosage chart somewhere on the site. If you can't find it see if you can edit the header of your original post and ask that direct question.

I found a link the says 1/2 a cc for 10 days. I am just nervous I don't want to traumatize her any further..or overdose her.

I wouldn't worry about an overdose as long as you are close (most antibiotics aren't an overdose risk).

Half a cc orally? Injected? Mixed in water? I have never used Tylan. Like I said change the subject line to ask a direct question as others here will know the proper dose.

If it is oral I would try to tempt her by mixing it with a bit of scrambled egg.

Looks like .5 to 1 cc is correct: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/86782/tylan-injection-how-do-i-do-it

Sounded like a lot to me but apparently your calculation was correct, and overdosing on antibiotics is pretty unlikely.

Looks like she might have pus in her nostril. Check there and check her choanal slit for pus.

So I was wondering if I had to do another injection and how long to continue or should one be enough?
