it is my understanding that if your chicken is on medication-not just VetRx as ours are but meds yours is on-do not eat while on meds.

My personal favorite antibiotic is denegard. You have to buy it online. I got mine from amazon. It has no egg withdrawal and the chickens can't become resistant to it. A big bottle lasts along time and you can dose monthly to keep the viruses away. I dose anytime I see a runny nose. Since using denegard that is the worst symptom I have seen in over a year.

Tylan would be good for respiratory illness. As @ambergds mentions, Denagard is good for Mycoplasma and respiratory illness as well.

Penicillin is more suited for wounds, bumblefoot, enteritis, bacteria, etc.

Can I give them tylan 50 today?

Yes
Do a search for the right dose. I believe tylan works best when given 2 times a day for 5 days.

Yay! A video with happy music too

Glad to hear she is better, she's looking good. Yes, waiting a little while longer to put her back with the flock to make sure she is fully recovered is a wise thing to do.

How is Jimmy?
