Turkeys coughing

[Stefanie1141213]

I have 2 coughing turkeys, (bourbon red, 6mo, 10lb hens) it has been 3 weeks now. Have been treating them with Tylan 200 1.5ml orally (which they really dont like) and only small improvement. Id really appreciate advice

Thank you!

I'm not really qualified to advise since I don't know that much about turkeys. I would check for worms. Are they eating and seem otherwise healthy?

The oral Tylan 200 dose for turkeys is 60 mg per pound per day. This dose should be divided up and given 3-4 times a day.

3 times a day - 0.1 ml per pound three times a day
4 times a day - 0.075 ml per pound four times a day
