Injections can cause injection site necrosis, so I would do it orally.

Yes she is 1 lb

You can give 0.5 ml orally twice a day.

I have gotten conflicting dosages. I have a 1 1/2 lb adult silkie with sneezing and coughing. no discharge or swelling. I treated her with 0.075 (not sure that's how to say it, on the 7 mark between 0.25 and 0.5) once a for 5 days. I read 0.25 per pound, 3 times a day. That seemed a lot for her size. she is still sneezing/coughing but not as much. Did I dose wrong? She seems fine otherwise. eating and drinking.

According to all of the veterinary literature, all types of Tylan should be given several times a day, and the doses are much higher than the cattle doses.

If you look at the directions for Tylan powder, it says the chicken dose is 50 mg per pound per day and the turkey dose is 60 mg per pound per day.

There is a vet on a facebook page that says the Tylan 50 dose is 0.2 ml per *pound* every 6-8 hours, and this more or less matches what all of my vet books say.

If *I* were going to use it again, I would go by the powder directions and give 50 mg per pound, per day, and divide that up into as many doses as possible.

• 4 times a day - 0.25 ml per pound four times a day
• 3 times a day - 0.33 ml per pound three times a day

If I could not do 3 or 4 times a day I might consider twice a day.

• 2 times a day - 0.5 ml per pound twice a day.

The minimum I suggest using is the amount the vet on that facebook page recommends, which is 0.2 ml per pound every 6-8 hours.

Since the injectable can cause severe injection site necrosis, which I have seen personally, I would give it orally, or *maybe* subcutaneously, but never in the muscle.

Does that help at all?

hanks for answering so quickly. so would you give her more as she's still coughing? I did 5 days at the low dose? (between 0.25 and 0.5, on the 7-8 line)

I'm confused, what's the 7-8 line?
