| Thanks Henwife, got hubby to hold whilst I did the deed - got a nice bruise on my hand now where the little darling pecked me! She and the the younger one really needed more than the Tylan in the water - older hen is rattling in her chest and youngster has swollen eyes (I gave her just over 0.2ml as she is half the size of an adult), will repeat in 48 hours. Have given all chooks ACV and garlic in their water now - I've got those waterers on legs that fill the dish up as they drink, how do i stop the garlic from falling out or blocking the tube? |

Sorry to hear they're so poorly. How do you do the injections - I wouldn't know where to put the needle.
Henwife you know everything!!!
Maybe crush/chop the garlic up into pieces - although when I put it in mine they stopped drinking the water. Or mix it in with some oats/cereal and water with poultry spice? Stick a bit of garlic in a grape or whatever their favourite treat is.  |

| I don't know everything - just where to look it up. A great pile of poultry books lives beside the computer! That came from Victoria Roberts' Diseases of Free Range Poultry. |

| Chris, Didn't you find it worrying having a vet who does not know the correct dose..? How did you get to be giving the injection yourself? Also Henwife. how do you get the medication to administer yourself? |

| It is worrying to have a vet that doesn't know much about chickens but i do have my chicken "oracle" - a close friend who has kept chooks for many many years - and Minster vets on the other end of a phone who are brilliant and will answer any questions. New people have taken over my vet practice but this has made it better in some ways as they think I know more than them (which i probably do re chooks) and give me the medication i need without taking the chook in. But I think the reason they couldn't tell me the dose is because Tylan 200 injectible isn't licenced for poultry so there isn't a correct dose - just info from other chook keepers who have found out by trial and error and have put their findings on the internet (and I thank them for being so brave). My friend showed me where and how to inject the chook (you inject into the breast muscle) and, having had a dog that needed weekly injections and sheep that also need to be injected, I have no problem in doing it. Second injection today - keeping well away from the beak this time !!!!! |

I got the dosage from Victoria Roberts' book - I have never used the injectable, only the soluble.
I don't think the book is ever cheap - Abe books is usually better than eBay, but try Amazon - click link at the top of the page. |

| Have to say the Tylan 200 injection is powerful stuff - from being quite poorly to "let me out" and "I want food now" in 48 hours is amazing . |
