Sick Turkey help

[horsesgot6]

I got the Tylan 50 for my turkey today i have been giving him VetRx which im not liking. how much of the Tylan 50 should i give him he is about 20 to 30 pounds. should i bring him in and cage him with heat light to keep him extra warm. this bird has turned into a 88 year old ladys pet and she loves him i want to do everything i can for him i just dont have the money for a vet. so any help will be great and thank you for your time.

I found where it said large chickens can have 1/2 to 1 cc of the tylan 50 so would the 1cc be ok which is what im going to give tonite when i get home. im thinking the under the skin under the wing unless someone says another place would be better.

Thanks for your help,
Jennifer

I too have read 1/2cc for large chicken and a large chicken is about 5 lbs (plus or minus )
I read for turkeys to go with 1cc per 10lbs sooo the same thing in the end per weight !!
Per day

Get that turkey on a scale and get a weight if you can !
Nemember to use a 20-22 ga needle as the stuff is thick
Sub cutaneous or under the skin on the breast alternating locations daily seems to be the preferred location by many

Good luck
