Tylan 50 and LA 200 are both good antibiotics. Get the birds well first and then proceed with wormer and vitamins.
If they are still sick they won't take the wormer very well and it will knock them back down and then the vitamins would be a waste.
If you are using water soluable antibiotics, don't feed them for at least the first 5 days.
Using injectible antibiotics, normally use 1 cc under the skin in the breast area every day for 3 days and cut their feed in half of normal.
Hi-Jacker
I really need to apologize for my (Hi-Jacker) post last night.
I should not post anything until I've had the time to proofread it and have the time to ensure it is what was meant. ( see the above bold print )
Yes, by all means feed the sick bird. don't feed them MEDICATED CRUBLES ALONG WITH WATER SOLUABLE ANTIBIOTICS for at least the first 5 days.
This will over-medicate the birds.
I posted and then we rushed out the door for an auction. When we got home last night we were catching up on posts and
"Yep, I'm an idiot."
Everyone that read that has alrady said it too, I deserve that one.
Hopefully you guys got it straightened out before someone starved their poor birds last night
Dumb ^$$ Hi-Jacker
thanks for the good laugh this morning!! like i have seen a post on to increase egg laying don't let your birds have water for 5 days!
