No. Tylan 50 cattle injectable is the best thing for respitory issues. You can inject it or give orally.

I have used this twice now on chickens with infectious bronchitis and I swear it seemed to help them. This is good stuff to have anyway. Is your chicken still eating and drinking normally??

Electrolytes might help too. When my Russian Orloff was sick I injected watermelon with electrolytes. It was the only thing she would eat for about two weeks.

x2. ACV is good for them but when they are sick with some respiratory disease they most often need a round of antibiotic's. Just about any respiratory disease a chicken comes down with can result in secondary infections and pneumonia. That's usually what kill's them rather then the illness itself. Give some antibiotic's, keep her warm at night and adding the electrolytes is good too. And I will second the Oxine AH, that is good stuff! We had an outbreak of infectious bronchitis too and I used it to fog coops and sanitize waterer's etc. Just make sure to use it as is, NON activated.
