Where can I get Tylosin?

[TundraFang]

So my rooster is having some breathing problems and Tylosin was recommended to treat him. I can't find it anywhere! Does anyone know where I could get some or an alternative for treating him? I'm located in Virginia. Here's the link to the original thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/i-can-hear-my-rooster-breathing.1496122/#post-24970664

Tylosin powder is sold by jedds.com online. Some feed stores may occasionally sell injectable Tylan 200, but it is very hard to get anymore. Here is a link:

If you can't find it there try your local pharmacy

Chewy Has it listed in their pharmacy, here.

Pharmacies don’t sell tylosin. A vet may sell it, but most antibiotics for chickens have been taken out of feedstores since 2017. Jedds sells it for pigeons, and the dosage for chickens is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 3-5 days. Only add water to powder (not powder to water,) or it won’t mix well. Change water every 3 days.

It requires a vet prescription usually, but not for pigeons at Jedds. I just read chewies ad, so not sure.
