When my tom had respiratory problems, I gave him injections twice a day. MY experience with MY turkey and his respiratory problems was that I pretty much had to care for him with extra special care.
This is what I did........ I gave him a shot of Tylan 50 twice a day for 3 weeks. I also put Enfamil Poly-Vi-sol Essential vitamins for infants and Toddlers (it's in a purple and gold box) in a syringe and squirted it in his mouth twice a day. I also gave him pedialyte as often as I could. I also cooked eggs, mashed potatoes and grits and hand fed twice a day. The first couple of days when I noticed something was wrong, he wasn't eating or drinking. This is why I had to take extra special measures.
After 2 days of hand feeding boiled eggs, squirting syringes of pedialtye and Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Multivitamins for infants and toddlers down my tom's throat, my turkey has finally shown some signs of hope. He had been roosting on the ground with his head almost touching the ground with open wings.
Within 3 - 5 days he should major signs of improvement. It is VERY possible that she can make it. If you would have saw and heard my Tom when he was sick, you could have sworn that he had 1 foot in the grave. It was that bad.
