Advice needed!

What dose are you giving? It's not really supposed to be mixed in with the water but individual dose for the sick bird. When did you start the tiaguard?

Just yesterday, how much should I give her then? I put about 1 ML in the water.

Just yesterday, how much should I give her then? I put about 1 ML in the water.

Here's some info, I'd only give it to the one with symptoms.

I found her yesterday sitting down in a ball while almost gasping for air and making loud squeaking noises almost like sneezing, but so bad that her entire body moves with the sneezing. She’s the only one out of all my 10 hens with these symptoms.

I’m currently giving her nutri boost, vet rx, and triguard. I’ve seen her try to eat a little bit but gets interrupted by a sneeze. Haven’t seen her drink and have tried to give her some through a drip, but it’s hard with her sneezing so much.

Just yesterday, how much should I give her then? I put about 1 ML in the water.

Tiagard (Tiamulin, Denagard) is formulated to go in the drinking water. Dosage is 8ml per 1 gallon of drinking water.

Tiamulin is used to treat only Mycoplasma in poultry.
Tiamulin is very bitter, so you will need to sweeten the water with juice or karo syrup to make it more palatable.

You *can* give the dose orally if you wish, if she's sneezing a lot, it may be hard to syringe the dose into her, but you can try.

Look inside her beak for any lesions or canker. She began sneezing when you introduced or put all of them together last week? Have you ever had respiratory illness within your existing flock?

Sneezing constantly, does she have an obstruction? What's her crop like?

If you want to give it orally, the dose is 25 mg/kg
1 / 2.2 x 25 / 125 = 0.09 ml per pound.

0.025% per gallon is ~946 mg per gallon, I would round up to 1000 mg per gallon.
Denagard is 125 mg per 1 ml
1000 / 125 = 8 ml per gallon.

Does that help?
