Respiratory sickness

[CluckingClarks]

Hi guys. I really need your help. I’m a long time chicken owner but I’ve reached my point of knowing what to do. Power in numbers! I’ve read a lot of posts but just can’t figure out the right options for me.
my entire flock is sick. I would go to a veterinarian but our “local” vet just stopped seeing poultry. And a chicago vet is the next closest and costs $85 a bird and will not diagnose for more than the bird seen.
I started my birds on dewormer because it was time to. Unfortunately everyone caught a cough at the end of the round. I’m losing birds left and right. Chicks, juveniles & adults. So I had no choice to put the one amox/tylan mix powder right away.
Which is 10mg tylan & 15mg amox per 100g tylan. They have been on it 8 full days now.
Directions are 1 teaspoon per gallon.
My question is should I continue this, up the dosage or move to another medication.
What I have available:
-amox/tylan (being given)
-baytril 10% oral solution,
- enrofloxacin 10% (commonly for mycoplasma, salmonella, E. coli but also used respiratory)
-L-S 50 (I only have enough for 4-5 days not enough to continue it longer)
Sickness started: 10 days ago
Meds given: 8 days straight
Birds: everything: chick, juvenile, adult,
Bantams, standards, silkies, egg layers.
enviroment: indoor & outdoor free range
Normal feed: special made feed from a farmer down the road 16-18% protein, grain, oster shell, corn, dried herbs, egg shells, compost & scraps.

thank you for any help!!!!

theres no cure for respiratory issues all the meds will do is hide the symptoms for a period of time before it shows again

What are your chicken’s symptoms exactly? Antibiotics may only treat the symptoms of bacterial diseases, but not viruses such as infectious bronchitis or ILT virus. MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum) and coryza may respond to some antibiotics. Fungal respiratory infections from mold do not. Respiratory diseases in chickens excluding infectious bronchitis, are chronic and symptoms may return again. If you have treated them for 8 days, either they are not drinking enough of the medicine, or it may be a virus. Getting some testing or sacrificing a sick bird to get a necropsy by your state vet would be ways to identify the disease in your flock.

I appreciate that. They are either showing symptoms of coughing(deep cough), gasps for air, sneezing and some don’t show any symptoms they just remain slow for 1 day them pass. I’m forcing the medications by syringe but I’m afraid I have far to many to be successful. The first 5 days they all drank normally. The following the water consumption is low.
