Here's a really stupid question, if they pull threw, I was told they shoud be on the antibotic for at least 3 days. but if they pull threw should I continue until the 3 days are up or just give it up right now. believe me I wont make this error again.. can't believe I was so stupid, what was I thinking...

I would say you will know within twelve hours.
Either you'll see improvement or they'll get worse.
You did ABSOLUTELY the right thing treating them with Tylan so don't even question that.
Just for future reference(in case you didn't know-I didn't I had to look it up) cc and ml are the same.

 

[KandiandJerry]

you gave them enough for three days if they make it they should be ok dont give no more

I found this:

The mean lethal dose of the antibiotic at subcutaneous application to 28-32 day-old broilers was 620 mg/kg

If Tylan 50 is 50 mg/ml. and you gave 2.5 mls, you gave them well under the dose that might kill them. Just be calm and keep them comfortable. A previous poster was correct in saying this might be a result of whatever sickness you were treating them for, not the Tylan.

It sounds like they might be in shock. Don't try to force food or water and keep them warm! Sorry, that's all you can do now. Hoping for the best.

(Also, activated charcoal would only help for ingested drugs, not injections.)

Maybe you could call Peter Brown at First State Veterinary Supply and ask an expert. I don't know if there would be a fee. Check the info on that link to learn more.

I remember one time my chicken had a bad respiratory infection... I took her to the vet and he gave me tablets to dissolve in X amount of water. She got bad fast, looked to be near death and gasping for breath, with a swollen face. I decided she most likely would die, why not crush an entire tablet and force it into her? Why not try one more desperate thing to save her? She was going anyway....
The overdose saved her in this case. I don't know why it worked, but it did.
To be clear, not saying to give them more, but my chicken made it on a big OD. I hope your birds are OK. Are the others still standing?

mL and cc are the same thing. 1 mL and 1 cc is the same thing. You probably know this now, because you are totally freaking out. If you knew how often humans have been over-dosed by professionals, you would not be freaking out so much. This is the reason I couldn't be a nurse. It is so COMMON to accidently give the wrong dose (Too little or too much can be equally dangerous depending on the med.) Calm down and remember that what you did was done in good faith that you were doing something to help your birds.

I hope your birds make it, and I hope you find comfort in knowing it was an accident, and you will know better next time.

You're getting great advice. Don't stress them out by messing with them....just keep them warm and quiet. Just let them get through it on their own. It's night and they wouldn't be eating or drinking anyhow.

Sorry, things like this happen.
