Tylan 50 injectable taken orally?

[Simerman5]

It can be given orally and there is a group of vets that suggest giving 0.2 ml per pound every 6-8 hours.

Okay thank you I saw somewhere where they suggested 1/4 cc. So I give it to her more than once a day?

Those 1/4 cc dose posts are not correct. Cattle get small doses once a day, but poultry need large doses several times a day. Sadly, most people way underdose.

Got home and my silkie hadn't made it :-( thank you for the information. I have one chicken with a watery (pinkish) glossy eye. I'm thinking I'll give her some meds too.

Sorry for your loss.

Injectable works better when injected. You can give either way, but it works better for their bodies if it's injected into the breast tissue. I've tried both ways and it seems to work faster injected. You don't have as much loss of potency and better absorption that way. Hope that makes sense.

I give mine 1/2 a CC for medium and 1cc for large. If I'm doing oral doses I typically stick with 1cc just to compete with the loss of absorption.

Don't let injections scare you---it's REALLY easy. Most of mine take them BETTER than oral and it stresses them less. I do it after dark when everyone is roosting and use a red headlamp so as not to bother them. If you do decide to do injections make sure you switch sides every time.

Do you orally dose her 1cc once a day or twice a day?

Tylan works best if you give it 3 times a day.
Every 8 hours.

Do you know how much your bird weighs? What are you trying to treat her for?
