What is the dosage of Tylan 50 for a one-month-old Gosling? She's sneezing and has puffy eyes.

Water soluble or injectable?

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

@casportpony

Injectable given orally.

Thank you.
If I went ahead and did one dose of the .5ml per pound tonight would it be okay to start the four times day treatment tomorrow? Or do I need to keep it the same?

Do it a often as you can. The idea is to get 50 mg (1 ml) per pound per day into them. When will you be able to give the next dose?

I can dose her again first thing in the morning around 7am. Dosing her threw the day is not an issue for me im just afraid over over dosing.

Also is LA 200 safe for geese? Would it be the same dosage if so?

All the vet books say 3-4 times a day, and the makers of Tylan say chickens 50 mg per pound per day, turkeys 60 mg per pound per day.

Your bottle is for cattle, and cattle get way less only once a day I think. If I were going to use it I would give as I suggested.

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