Tylan - 50 or Tylan-200
This is commonly used for respiratory illnesses and works well against most except infectious Coryza and MG, which is better known as CRD. It works best as an injectable but can also be given orally with slower results. There is also a water solubul Tylan-50.
For Tylan-50 give 1/2 cc daily for standard and 1/4cc for small bantams. Give once a day for 5 days.
LS-50 or Lincomycin-Spectinomycin(generic) These are the drugs of choice for Les, for the CRD that has the swollen heads, lots of mucus and sneezing. These are both water soluble and are mixed 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Treat for a full 4 days after all symptoms are gone.
Yes, we are paying attention, but some of us are on and off at odd times of the day/night so it can take a few hours for a response
I would warm the VetRx and apply it full strenghth beneath the wing where the bird puts her head when roosting. I don't dilute it with water when applying to the nostrils or the waddles or a few drops in the mouth. You can pour some into the water dish, where it will float and everytime the bird gets a drink of water they put their beak through the floating medication and get it on their nostrils.
