Tylosin dosing

[Adrienne-m]

Hey there!!! What would be the amount of tylosin 100mg powder I should use in my chickens water to treat a respiratory infection?

One teaspoon of powder to one gallon of water. But mix water gradually into the powder or it will refuse to mix properly.

Treat for five days.

Make sure they're drinking it. When my girls first got symptoms from a respiratory infection they stopped.eating and drinking. I had to give them some water through a syring and put wet mash in the back of their beaks for a few days. (I gave tylan orally though so I was sure they were getting the correct dosage each) Was super fun doing that for 10 chickens for 3 days. A blast.

What are their symptoms that’s making you think it’s a respiratory infection? A lot of people give antibiotics to their birds just because they sneeze a couple times, when really, it’s not always disease related. There are many respiratory diseases that aren’t bacteria as well, so by describing what their symptoms are can help.
