info. on respitory infections......

where did you get your antibiotics and how\where do you give the shot ive always been curious of it but took mine to the vet

I've always been a fan of Tylosin (Tylan). It is sold over the counter (it's in the fridge!) on any good store that sells farm products (Runnings, etc.). Snakes respond very well to it after 5 days of dosing (once a day). Besides, the cost is not prohibitive. As stated by others, make sure you correct any environmental problems first. Moisture, temperature and absolute cleanliness are a must.

right on i was wondering if someone was gonna post what kind and where to get the antibiotics thanks Dan

No problem. Just let me know if when the time comes you need help with dosage and or calculating dilutions. It is administered SC so it’s very easy. You will need a small needle and syringe; the ones used for insulin work the best. You might need to buy them from a vet or online?

Take care,

It works great for a number of things. I've used it for upper resp infections to belly rot on a bp I adopted. I normally dose every 3 days for 6 weeks. Some upper resp infections ccan be caused by microbials ( sp? ) which from what I understand don't react to normal meds.

I crank my hot end to 95 , replace the normal water bowl with a smaller one and drop the humidity a bit. Dosing with the tylan has sped up recovery time and for $10 a bottle ( price here ) you can't beat it .

Not to mention that a bottle with the dilution you have to use will last you for a long time (kept in the refrigerator).

Lasts for quite some time. I get Tylan 50 here , still looking fot Tylan 200 and it'll last longer.

Bryon,

My concern with the 200 is that it will take too long to go through a whole bottle. I don't remember on top of my head the expiration date on the bottle. One way or the other you can't beat the price/results, even if you have to throw away what's left unused after treating just one animal. Undoubtedly the T-200 would have the advantage of having to inject ¼ of the volume of the T-50 to achieve a similar dose.

Regards

I've been using Tylan for a few years now - wonderful stuff.

Here are a couple on-line supply houses that carry it.

KV Vet Supply

Valley Vet

Those sites are useful Mike, and in the first one there’s your T-200 Bryon!
