The Tylan chicken dose is 110 mg/kg per day.
The Tylan turkey dose is 132 mg/kg per day.

Tylan works best when given 3-4 times a day.

How much does the duck weigh?

she’s 3.5 lbs ( runner) i’ve been giving her

{below is now edited to correct amounts}

0.23 of tylan 200 3x a day for a total of 0.7 ml per day . but so far she still coughing weirdly like as if she coughing stuff up and then swallowing it.
is it safe to give valbazen along with the tylan? i was thinking to do 0.3ml a day for 3 days of the valbazen starting tonight

2.3 ml? Are you sure? That's 1380 mg of tylosin per day. How did you calculate that? Can you post a picture of your syringe?

sorry its 0.23 ml i meant. and im using a 1 ml syringe

also i meant 0.3 ml for the valbazen once a day for 3 days if that’s correct

I did more searches for an answer to my question about contraindications and found answers so I went ahead and gave Poppy her first dose of Valbazen last night but then I skipped her 3rd dose of the Tylan for the day because I just didnt want to so much overwhelm her supercute and tiny little 3.5 pound self.
I have not decided yet for sure if I will give her the rest of her tylan doses (3 today and 3 tomorrow for a total of 5 days of Tylan) but probably will.

That is the correct dose for her weight.
Valbazen dose is "weight in lbs / 2.2 X 20mg / 113.6"

update on Poppy
just finished 3 days of valbazen
one last dose of tylan tonight
stopped using nebulizer
i think she is almost better
going to put her (and her best friend willow) back out with the other ducks in the morning after I feed her some probiotics
praying she will be all better soon
planning to treat the rest of the ducks with valbazen asap

this is poppy’s second day outside with the flock and I noticed that she’s no longer fluffed up. Her feathers went back to normal, and she never did molt. She wasjust all fluffed up which I guess was a symptom of worms.? anyway, my ducks all survived just fine for seven years with no dewormers at all until I got the two chickens last year and decided to use a dewormer on the flock but that’s when Poppy and three others were just babies so I didn’t deworm them. they do eat a lot of worms and they find slugs and to my shame I used to go slug hunting in my garden at night and get 20 or 30 slugs, and fed them to the ducks in the morning . i did this several times when I didn’t know better
But yeah, Poppy seems a lot better. Praise the Lord!
