Tylan 50 dosage for a Gosling

[tiffanyduke]

LA 200 is oxytetracycline, so it's a different drug, and a different dose. Tylan 50 is the safer of the two.

Thank you, i will stick to Tylan 50!

Tylan 50 works best if given four times a day. If you can't do four, do three, and if you can't do three, try twice.

0.25 ml per pound of body weight orally four times a day
0.33 ml per pound of body wight orally three times a day
0.5 ml per pound of body weight orally two times a day

Would it be the same dosage if you injected it into the breast?

About the same, and it would have to be given 3-4 times a day. The problem is that injectable Tylan can cause *severe* injection site reactions (muscle necrosis) when given in the muscle. This is well documented and I can tell you from personal experience that the one time I used it happened to my hen. Why are you asking? Are you having trouble giving it orally?

five I think. Is she showing any signs of improvement?

Oh good! You made me nervous, lol.

NO, she still looks pretty bad. Im sure her scratching her eyes is not making it any better.

 

[casportpony]

If she isn't looking better in by tomorrow morning can you take her to a vet?

I second the vet if possible. That also looks like it might be an eye infection, not really a respiratory thing necessarily. You might want to try some terramycin in her eye and see what that does.
