Tiagard for chicks?

[Chrissye96]

I have 10, 2&3 week old chicks who have been showing signs of respiratory problems for over a week. (Sneezing, congestion) on the Facebook pages people recommended i order and use Tiagard from Amazon. So it finally came in today and the dosage is 3tsp/gal so i gave it to them.
I just want to make sure that’s safe because all the reviews say it saved their chicks and chickens and helps with respiratory, etc but the bottle does says it’s for swine? So i just want to make sure that it’s okay. I have given them the water with it in it. I just get so many mixed answers on everything so it’s so confusing

Thank you! And it’s safe for chicks? I just get so nervous. Especially when they start laying around

Let me go look for the info I have.

It's the same as Denagard, it's 12.5% tiamulin. It's labeled for use in poultry in the UK - Use 2ml per liter for treatment:

Hi! I just found your post and I'm going through the exact same thing with our 11 2-3week old chicks! I just started Tiagard yesterday. When did you begin to notice a difference? Did you treat all 5 days? Thanks in advance!
