Title: Tylan
Post by: monkeysox on October 13, 2011, 10:08:40 am

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can get Tylan without a prescription? I know whats wrong with my hen and know what she needs so don't want to spend a fortune on vets fees.

It's worth giving your vet a call.  Mine put medicines out for me to collect and use.

I doubt very much if you will get hold of Tylan without a veterinary prescription.  Do you need the powder of injectable.  Most vets will want to charge a consultation fee to diagnose what you already probably know.  Tylan injectable is brilliant for mycoplasma but is unlicensed for poultry - mainly for cattle.

She has a respiratory infection and I know that with a course of anitbiotics she will perk up. Really don't want to have to pay a consulatation fee. I'm so used to being on the farm and just diagnosing and administrating as and when its so frustrating. If she was a cow I could get it no problem!
