Missed dose of antibiotics

[ZMamagoose]

So this might be an odd question but I'm brand new to chickens and I had a chick (4 weeks) with an upper respiratory problem so I started her on the 1/10 of tylan 50 2x a day. On the third day she looked better and seemed to be all good so I stopped for day four but the nextnext one of her eyes were irritated again And her breathing was slightly deeper (but not as bad as before).
So I guess my question is can I start get antibiotics again after stopping? And for how long?
Thanks

I would restart the tylan and give it for 5 more days. You can also get Terramycin eye ointment to apply a small dot into the eye twice a day. If you cannot find it by asking a clerk at your feed store, then use plain neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment.

This time do not stop after two or three days...even if she seems better.
Give the whole 5 day treatment.

So I grabbed the eye ointment when I went to town Monday, she's on day 3 of the eye ointment and 5 of the tylan 50. Her breathing does seem to be better but I'm curious how soon I should see improvements in her eye. It looks so uncomfortable

Do you have a before picture of this eye?
Has it improved any?

You may or may not see eye improvement. If it's sunken eye (as it appears in the pic,) you might be dealing with MG.

It may not get better?
