weak cockerel with posible respiratory illness help me to diagnose it, please

It does look like a lot of urates. Is the chicken drinking enough fluids? I am not a vet, but sometimes dehydration can cause more urates in the droppings.
water only not much, I think he wants to drink but just drink a little and stops, but he ate the yogurt and I give him vitamins in water with a syringe but I don't know if it was enough. What about the medicines? can you help me?

I've got a medicine that have many spelling errors, I hope it does not have errors in the amount of composition because it has spelling errors even in the name of ingredients, it says:
tilosina................1.300 grs. (it should be only g instead of grs.)
Oxitetracilina........1.700 grs. (it should be Oxitetraciclina)
sulfa...................1.700 grs. (which one?)
vitamina B1.........2.500 mg
vitamina B2.........3.000 mg
vitamina B6.........2.500 mg
vitamina B12.......2.000 mcg
excipientes c.s.p.
(it does not have this information)
The product is 100g, should we assume that excipients is 100g?
Dosage in birds:
-curative: 10g for every 10 liters of water
-preventive: 10g for every 20 liters of water ( can be preventive an antibiotic?)
There was only a vetshop who had this product with tylosin and sadly one time I saw a medicine with expiration date erased there, in my country people makes counteirfeit of food products, I didn't read it there because it was getting late, but now is crossing my mind if I buyed a counterfeit medicine, I'm worried, there is a website written in the product but it does not exists!
what would you do? would you trust this product? and what would be the dosage if given directly in the beak because he is not drinkin water normally.
If this is what you have on hand it’s worth trying, if you can’t get him to drink any water with it the oral dosage for Tylosin is 40 ml per kg twice daily.

Tylosin has a broader safety margin than many other drugs so overdosing a little isn’t the end of the world.

Oxytetracycline is an antibiotic I’ve never used with my birds so I don’t know what the safety margin of error is with it, the dosage is 200 mg per kg once daily.

Ideally it would be best to measure it out in a gram scale if it’s powder and then mix it in a syringe with a little water and administer it that way.

The closest equivalent to this product you’ve described is this I found in my country https://birdpalproducts.com/products/tylodox-powder?_pos=6&_sid=1112a2516&_ss=r
Doxycycline is a similar antibiotic to oxytetracycline and the dosing is pretty similar, so if you don’t have a gram scale the best thing you can do is eyeball it, normally that’s not a good idea but we do what we can when there’s no other options.
I suggest giving him an aspirin tablet sized portion of powder once daily for five days. If there’s no improvement on the third day give him two portions per day for another four days.
