the vet gave Tikka an antibiotic injection and i had to ask for some bayril to treat the rest of the flock as a couple of the others seem to be sneezing!! the dosage she has given me is 1.2ml per bird per day, is this right? it seems alot to me???

[Foxy]

That sounds about right -0.6mls twice a day.

[chickenlady]

Sorry! Should of trusted her but she didnt sound very sure herself!

im doing 0.6mls a day twice a day,

foxy told my vet as well in an e-mail I printed off.

Wise fox that one.

[chickenlady]

I got to give whole 1.2ml baytryl once a day! lots are now sneezing/coughing! have put tikka in the garage in pet carrier as the chicks are still in conservatory and eggs in lounge so dont want cross contamination! so hoping for improvement in morning!  if tikka is better by saturday then she goes back for 2nd injection! if not I need to cull!  vets words not mine!!

Awwww poor little Tikka!

Oh if you want second opinion, that poultry vet I told you about Debbie is Graham Martin, of Horncastle laboratories, 01507 523276.  They are chook specialists!

CL it needs to be given twice a day, to be more effective - so just half the dose given, they will be fine.
