Fran, Tucker takes 1/16 teaspoon tylan every. single. day. Keeps the air nice and fresh, too. If I try to let up, the deadly toots return.

Fran, if you are lucky you can find Tylosin powder online at an aviary store without a script. Otherwise you will need a script.

Oh - ok great - thank you Jill and Pam! I am starting the weaning process today - cutting back - she takes pills currently - 200 mg per tablet - was on 4 a day - I am starting to do 3 a day now going forward then to 2.

Do they Tylan (pills) reduction by 1 pill a week.... don't rush it..
When you get down to only 1 pill a week... after that week is over.... cut the pill in half and only give 1/2 pill twice a day for a week,
Then try 1/2 pill once a day for the following week .. and then next week, try 1/2 pill every other day.... cross your fingers, paws and pray that this works !!!!!!

And do keep us posted!

Thank you - that is a slow process but I think its a good one. My Stella is starting to not want her food - so I am getting concerned. She has done this in the past. I think now its because that she isn't starving anymore and wanting to eat constantly, but I was also giving her a lot more food. So I might just cut it back to being a normal amount for now and hope that works.

don't ut back to normal... that could be too much of a reduction at once.... SLOWLY reduce the amount of food by maybe only 25% of the increase you were feeding.

The other thing you can also do.... is prepare the food as you normally would (with a "slight" reduction)... but then when you serve it to her... only give her 1/3 of the meal..... let her finish that, and THEN give her the 2nd 3rd of the remaining meal.... if she finishes that THEN give her the final 3rd of the meal..

Sometimes this helps too!

Thank you - oh yes, I am only go to reduce a tiny bit at a time. It would be a slow decrease.

good

Keep us posted on how things go....!

I will - thank you!
