If she looks that bad I would definetly up the Tylan dose to the turkey amount:

2.3 / 2.2 x 132 / 50 = 2.76 ml per *day*, so give 1.4 ml *twice* a day.

Please double check my math, but pretty sure that's what the elanco link says.

Is there some way we can get her some Baytril, quickly?

Baytril, Cipro, Clavamox, Augmentin or maybe amoxicillin, that's what I would look for in that order. One could try to find pigeon breeders or someone that raises fighting birds, either type of owner is likely to have one or more of the drugs.

I could up the dose tomarrow, I dont think it will harm her. Im going to take a better video tomarrow because the lighting in the video isn't good at all. She doesnt have eye matting or swelling or any drainage from nostrils and the video makes it her eyes look dark around them. Could I find Baytril at a feed store or is that a med that a vet has to perscribe?

What other choices does she have? It would probably be better if the Tylan was 200 so it would not have to have so much but perhaps it does not matter when giving it orally. The poor bird has gone through so much I would be afraid of toxicity at this point. That stool looked very off color, grain in the diet with no grit... if it is being tubed that would explain why there is not much interest in eating. I don't know, if it were mine I would go ahead with the meds and hope for the best.

Baytril is from a vet or online. Call all you friends and relative and see if they have any human Cipro, Augmentin or amoxicillin. @Shay1Bear , I think this is very serious! Keep her nice and warm tonight - 80-85 degree room would be best.
