Brett,

Tylan 50 has 50 mg of Tylosin per ml (or cc). Check the label on the Tylan 200 (as I never used it), but more than likely has 200 mg per cc. The dosage is 20-30 mg per lb of body weight. That would be 0.1-0.15 cc of T-200 per lb. It would have to be injected subcutaneously once daily for 6 days. Inject always in the anterior 1/3 of the body (because of the circulation system in snakes). Alternate sides from one day to the next (left and right). What's the weight of the animal you are going to dose? Just an example, if it's a 10 pounder you will be giving her 1 cc of T-200/day, which will provide 200 mg of Tylosin. If you have an insulin syringe that's simple as they contain 1 cc.

Regards,

Dan
