Powdered Duramycin (oxytetracycline) antibiotic in water

[JoyAdele]

Its eating ok and drinking some...not near as much or as often as the others her age. She did perk up after a few days of chick probiotic and enzymes in the water, but just isnt right. She also falls over easily if bumped.

What disease/illness do you suspect? What does the chick's poop look like?

I need help. My girls have a respiratory thing happening and we have been treating with VetRX for a week. It has helped some but I think it's time to call in the antibiotics. I am sending hubby to go get Oxy this morning from TSC. Can you all tell me your results with this product? Did you have success?

Another one of my hens is acting strange, started her on oxytetracycline how long before she improves? Starting to regret this turkey business.

Duramycin 10 and Terravet 10 the 800mg dose is 1.5 tablespoons per gallon, not 1 tablespoon.

Thanks. The literature I just read said if they survive they will always be carriers.

Should I eliminate the whole flock? This isn't something I take lightly my flock is mixed with over 50 birds
