Watery bubbly eyes and sneezing help!

[ChickieNugget]

Being new to raising chickens and this site I decided to jump right in after reading the forum a little bit. We added two new pullets to our tiny flock of two last weekend. One of the new girls was sneezing and although she seems like she's getting better, the other one developed watery eyes and they're now bubbling every so often. They are both eating and drinking just fine at this point. I panicked and made a vet appointment for them but after reading about treating with Tylan 50 I would rather go that route. Is Tylan 50 the same as Tylan 200-250cc and what about Corid V??? if it's a powder and I put it in the water is it ok to treat the entire flock?

They are all sleeping now but I can try to get a picture in the morning.

Sounds like a Respiratory Infection - Tylan 50 (.2cc per lb 2 - 3x day 5 days)
Corid is for coccidiosis

Can you actually obtain the Tylan 200? I have read it's formulated far more suitably for chickens than the 50. Tylan is what you want to treat your chickens with.

It's best to separate the sick ones and treat them with the Tylan, but understand the others have been exposed and could come down sick, too. Then you would treat those with symptoms.

Tylan 200 is 4 times stronger than Tylan 50. It has 200mg per ml versus 50 mg per ml with Tylan 50. With Tylan 50, you would give 0.25 ml per pound 3 times daily for 3-5 days. With Tylan 200, it would be 1/4 of that dosage, which is harder to calculate. Also Tylan 200 is more expensive.

Watery, bubbly eyes sounds like Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG.) It will spread to your other birds. Tylan 50 will treat it, but not cure it. You'll have to maintain a closed flock. No birds out, no new birds in, no selling or giving away eggs to be hatched.
