When you say SMZ, what is the actual drug? Tylan = Tylosin, Baytril = enrofloxacin. The SMZ I'm used to is Sulfamethoxazole and it also has Trimethoprim.

Its SMZ/TMP, I just get so used to calling it SMZ and dropping the TMP. Sorry to confuse. I use the oral suspension (I think its pediatric) for chickens, but I actually only use it for chicks, because I am so sensitive to the signs of an URI in my adult birds that I have very good success with water soluble meds. Sometimes with the chicks it is a bit too late to just give terramycin in the water and they need something with a little more of a punch.

yeah 'm not giving them A TON, just as much as seems safe!

the 3 alive are doing MUCH better, we gave them the tylan 50 and even put some in some of their eyes. (don't worry i found out it's safe!

) so, i don't know how it will turn out, but right now by the looks of it they might get better and live! i just have to hope for the best!
