Do they have Tylan 50? If only Tylan 200 yes,it will work. Get back to you on dose.

 

[theacw]

Yeah that's all they had. I also need step by step instructions how to so it because its my first time. I'm super leery of doing it in her breast. Especially with how squirmy and skinny she is. Do I actually do in breast muscle. Is it less effective to do between shoulder blades subq

Tylan 200 - 200 mg per 1 ml
Tylan 50 - 50 mg per 1ml

Ok. So how many ml or mg of 200 do I give a bantam

 

[casportpony]

No more than 40 mg per kg (2.2 pounds), I think.

[casportpony]

Look at this site for dosage information. Dose info i found was for a 5 lb bird give 1/2 cc,your bird is tiny,cut this in half or a bit less than half just to be safe.

Dose once,then again in 48 hours.
30-35 mg/kg for a bantam bird.

Ok do I have to do it in her breast or can I do it subq on the back/neck? I've never done this so I'm incredibly nervous
