It's good your aware of his respiratory distress, and it's best to let them go when this happens. If you cannot give the meds orally, try giving them subcutaneously instead.

Give no less than 0.2 ml per pound of body weight no less than 3 times a day.

Forgot to mention, people with larger birds prefer using Tylan 200 because it's 4x as strong, so you can give less of it.

If you can get your hands on Tylan 200 the dose would be no less than 0.05 ml per pound of body weight no less than 3 times a day.

I was just wondering out of curiosity, how do you give them the meds orally so they don't aspirate? I realize you don't use a needle, but I was wondering if you do it fast or slow, stick it way down their throat or what? I thought this might be good to know in case anyone needs to do it in the future.

Even the injectable kind?

yeah, I have injected in the past and had no problems until my wife stuck a nerve on one of our birds and he required a month in solitary to keep him safe from the other birds. People will tell you by injecting into a muscle it can damage the tissue, so I started just shooting it down their throat at night when they are on roost. its easier on the bird and no chance of my wife sticking another nerve by mistake.

If the turkey weighs say 20lb how much tylan do I give him orally
