My male has IBD and at the suggestion of someone here (Hodie, I think, and if you are reading this, THANK YOU!) I discussed Tylan with his vet. We got him on Tylan powder and he’s doing great, rarely needs it anymore. But we are running low on powder and I decided to check local farm stores, they have no powder but have an injection of Tylan. Anyone using the injection of Tylan on a dog with IBD or tried it versus the powder? If so, does it work as fast as the powder? Any difference in results from the powder? Of course, I have to call my vet and find out if we can even use the injection or if we’ll have to order powder, but I wanted to see if anyone has experience with the injectable kind first.
Thanks,
Nichole

I beleive you need to buy it from a livestock store, in the chicken section.

Here is one source:

Please do not use the inject. it is not formulated for dogs. Again consult your vet when you are using Tylan powder, it is used as a drench for turkeys and chichens. So that the dogs are on the correct dose we have a compounding pharmacy put it into capsules for owners to give to their dogs. I hope this helps.
Always,

I used the injection previously for fosters, per vet oversite. In my opinion, it didn't work as well. The powder just seems to have a better effect. The powder lasts longer, easier to store, and the powder is cheaper.

Do not use injectable. Do be VERY careful with Tylan powder when handling it as it is a sensitizer. This means that many people WILL develop allergic reactions to repeated exposure. Read the cautions and adhere to them when handling.

I'll stick with the powder....I thought I might have found something awesome that my vet didn't know about that would work faster for my dog.

Malshep, I will check into that. We have no compounding pharmacies nearby, but the vet I use is not local so maybe he would know of someplace close to his office that would do that.

Hodie, EXCELLENT advice. I am blessed with being one of those people who easily develops allergies so any time I am dealing with meds for the dogs I use disposable gloves. I am HIGHLY allergic to a sulfa drug my dog had to take and I forgot to use gloves once...bad mistake. My 2 cents, always use gloves when handling any doggie meds.
Thanks all,
Nichole
