No, I've never had a CRD yet in my flock, but I've read scientific articles that say studies show that fluoroquinolones is very effective against secondary bacterial infections caused by CRD viruses. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9568297

I had bookmarked the site after our antibiotic BYC gurus recommended it as an alternative to Tylan this past year.

Jedds also sells tylosin (Tylan) powder, but it is out of stock. But this place also sells it:

Dosage is 1 tsp per gallonfor 3 to 5 days.

I just called Elanco today to ask if they weren’t selling it anymore or something. The vet basically gave me a speech about how it’s not meant for chickens and we should all take our chickens to the vet and get prescriptions.

Wow. I got the last one. Do you happen to know the age range for the dosage you listed?

I have taken several of mine to the vet. But I have yet to find anything that works better than Tylan 50 on respiratory issues. Unfortunately.

I know it. I think the guy was kind of idealistic/self-righteous.

I certainly agree that vet care has its place, but you can’t expect people that don’t have access to, or money for vet care, to just sit idly by and let their birds die when a cure can be obtained OTC for like $22.
