I hope you found some tylan 50. I have learned not to use tylan injectable 200 because it is hard on poultry tissues when injected. I have used other antibiotics without not one of them working to get them well. The only antibiotic that I have found works 100% to get the turkeys well is tylan 50 mixed with penicillin. If I give one without the other it seems to get them better but not well. Then you have them go on and on sick. To cure them well is to add it to drinking water also. Valley vet or KV Vet supply ship everything straight to your house and is where I order from.
Sorry I didn't reply I was working alot and just didn't get back to computer. I came to check on things and saw all replies on this. I just have gotten to where I keep some on hand when needed. If you have some Amoxicillin pills antibiotics left over in cabinet from when you were sick I give them a capsule too. It will help with the sickness and could buy you some time to get the tylan. Anyways just a thought. Good luck. Let us know what you find out and decide to do.

Curiously, have you ever used Baytril?

yes i have used baytril. Baytril is good for alot of ailments and does help this swelled sinuses in turkeys but i never seem to be able to get them over it like tylan 50 and penicillin injections. Maybe my dosages weren't correct or long enough I don't know but it seemed to be very costly and didn't work as well to me. Baytril can be hard to get and I just didn't suggest it because I thought they might have too much trouble getting it. I have read that there is some controversy with giving poultry baytril anymore too.

It's worked really well for me so far. I also have Tylan, but haven't used it yet. And you're right, Baytril is costly, hard to get and I believe the reason it was banned is one we should pay attention to. My vet made me promise never to eat an egg or the meat of something that I gave Baytril to. There is a very good article here:http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/news/050915_baytril

Thanks for your info on the Tylan 50 vs 200 and adding the penicillin. I've bookmarked this thread.

I had some tissue damage from tylan and read on Backyard chickens regarding injecting tylan and tried most of suggestions and still had some tissue damage in birds. So if I gave penicillin shot with tylan the bird got well faster and I had no tissue damage. That is when I started mixing the meds together to give them and have done it for greater than year now and don't have any tissue damage and the bird gets well better. I just make sure I use tylan 50 for injections not tylan 200.

I give a turkey the size in picture 1/2 to 3/4 of cc of tylan 50. Problaby first dose I would be aggressive adn give 3/4 cc with 1 cc of penicillin. Grown turkeys always 1cc of penicillin injectable. I pull of tylan 50 in syringe then add to where would be 1cc of penicillin on syringe and pull penicillin into syringe careful not to inject any tylan in bottle of penicillin. I just give injection on breast under skin and make sure not going in blood vein when inject. Your birds will get well. I give them shot every other day x3 then evalualte them if they need any other meds. I will add tylan 50 injectable to drinking water at 3cc per gallon for them to drink also and fed them special like some boiled egg and oatmeal(Uncooked) mashed together with potatoe masher shells and all.

 

[Wayne&Kim1963]

Some people say to give more tylan but I am careful with tylan dosages because it can cause your bird issues is becomes to much in blood stream. I learned about dosages more on here from some people who had gone to a vet regarding their birds and dosages.

 

[ericchris]

thanks so much ok but will that make them eat there egg this is my first time owning turkeys

 

[Wayne&Kim1963]

It doesn't make them eat their eggs though. They are boiled and crushed up like mashed potatoes with dry oatmeal. It is what I give something sick that doesn't want to eat real good and it is like candy to them and they will eat it well. You crush up cheap chicken eggs not turkey eggs.

Can I start the penicillin before i get the Tylan 50 or should i wait to do both at the same time ?
