very poorly chickens

My girls are very bad.I think I may have to have one put to sleep tomorrow.They had two doses each of Tylan injectable and they picked up but this horrible bug came back.The vet thinks it's probably Mycoplasma.He says he can't give Tylan soluble as it only comes in commercial quantities at £300.I have been giving them Baytril but it's not helping.If anyone has some spare Tylan soluble, I would be very grateful,thanks.

thanks Joyfull,will speak to them tomorrow.

Hello Flump,
how goes it with your poorly chooks?

My Chooks have been treatesd with Tylan soluble and it does come in 100G pack ( still a large amount as dose is 500mg/litre water but it cost 'only' £34 (as opposed to the £300 quoted by your vet)

My vet gives me aureomycin antibiotic which is water soluble and should cost you around £20 ish - ask your vet for this. Also mine also get metacam which is an anti inflamatory and I syringe that into their beaks.

Hi Joyfull,

sorry to hijack but is the aureomycin or metacam better than Tylan,I have Tylan soluble and my silkie cockerel still has a puffy,yellow,crusty eye!

Different antibiotics will work with different birds, so far with my sablepoots I have had aureomycin (worked with other chickens) denegard tiamulin - improved but not 100% and are now on tylan and this is working I am just keeping them on it for a couple of more days on my vets advice just to be sure. Sometimes the birds will need a longer course as well (vet said the denegard would probably have worked if I had kept them on it for two weeks but as the bottle said 3-5 days I stopped at 5 and asked for swabs and a different type).
As Casey said Metacam or loxicom is an anti inflammitry and pain killer - it helps ease their throats and reduce swelling aound their sinuses.
