To those that have birds with MG

[casportpony]

Kathy,
Thanks for the websites. I will look at those. I've looked at sending samples to some labs but it's about $50+ a pop.

Try contacting UC Davis, they might be less expensive.

The UC Davis fee for those in State is $8.30, and I think I read someplace that out of State fees were twice that, but don't quote me on that. The $8.30 test is the Chicken respiratory serology panel (IBV, MG, MS, AI, NDV), so you would have to have blood drawn.

It was not Tylan... it was tetracycline.

The active drug in tylan is oxytetracycline, so same family of antibiotics :0) it's a good broad spectrum

Thanks Kathy!

Actually, I believe that the active ingredient in Tylan is Tylosin. But you're right, it is a good broad spectrum antibiotic, especially good for respiratory diseases.

Sorry I don't know why I put Tylan in that post! I initially treated with tylan but once diagnosed I started oxytetracycline which is in the same family as tetracycline. Sorry for the confusion!
