With this medication my greyhound is able to live a happy and healthy life without the problems associated with Inflamatory Bowel Disease

A vet friend suggested this product for beard stains on our Westies. Give 1/8 tsp twice a day with food for three weeks then stop. You will actually see the new growth coming in very white. It may be used again after a three week wait. One bottle did our 3 Westies two times and they are now stainless on their beards and feet.

I use this to help maintain a nice white face on my little dog. Tear stains are a result of continual wetness which develops into a red yeast infection. Tylan used in minute amounts prevents this. A tiny pinch in each meal works for us, estimage 1/64 of a teaspoon.

Tylan was instrumental in controlling IBD in our flat coated retriever. I do not sprinkle on his food. It tastes terrible. Get the gelatin or vegetable single "0" empty capsules and a capsule filler (you can do 50 pills at a time). Then put enough in the capsule to fill up the bigger part of the empty capsule, put the cap on it and voila. You now have one dose. I do 300 capsules or so at a time. For my 70 lb dog, he gets 2 capsules a day, one at each meal. He has never felt so good. This is a miracle drug. That and WD or ZD Hill's Prescription diet and he stays in great form and is a very happy boy.

This product eliminates tear stains and halitosis in my poodles. I am a dental hygienist and have done extensive research on the proper dose and use of tylan in dogs. Before using please be aware of the very small dose necessary to achieve results. It certainly beats paying the high price of Angel Glow.

This product's formulated and sold for livestock - chickens and swine, to be added to their water supply, but is also great for controlling respiratory infections in all other birds. It's a broad spectrum antibiotic that generally kills mostly gram positive bacteria but also specifically is renowned for controlling mycoplasma infections (usually considered a gram negative strain, but doesn't have all the characteristics of the rest of the gram negative bacteria).

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the bacterial strain that causes conjunctivitis/eye disease and respiratory symptoms in many birds, most notably chickens (hence the on-label use) and in the wild, finches of all kinds. Standard ways to identify this disease, which is very contagious (to other birds) and which is spread the majority of the time by contaminated backyard feeders and water sources, is by finding birds with one or both eye sockets inflamed, sometimes closed (red or weeping eyes, crusty), and the birds have trouble breathing, are wiping their beaks and eyes on everything, and sit still, half blind, with their feathers disorganized, unwilling to fly off. It's somewhat like a cold, if the a cold also gave you pink eye, and if the cold killed you and all your friends off in a few weeks. If you have backyard feeders and are supplying water to wild birds, you're also helping to spread diseases to the birds you think you're helping, if you don't clean up after them, don't regularly disinfect feeders and water containers and don't take care of them (or remove all feeders) if you notice that you're helping spread disease around. The house finch population in particular has had heavy losses from mycoplasmal infections, which can usually easily be controlled by clean practices and eliminated (in affected birds) by using this antibiotic properly.

In any case, this product really does a great job at fixing up birds - in a day to a day and a half you will notice a big change in any sick bird you're taking care of or is visiting your backyard feeders. Make sure the treated water is the only source of water around, or this product is less effective and may fail entirely - or worse, help contribute to creating drug resistant strains of bacteria if you supply it at too low of a level. Treat flocks of birds for at LEAST 14 days, and up to 21 days. 4-7 days is really too short, and treating for 14 days should be the standard for use of this product, in any animal. This is not bleach or a disinfectant, and it needs prolonged time to eliminate bacteria that may be more resistant to it than some others.

The dosage for finches, song birds, and related (mourning doves, and larger birds are fine drinking from this dosage too), is 10mg/ml, or exactly half the dosage given on the bottle for chicken flocks. That's 1/4 tsp dissolved in a quart (or 1tsp per gallon) - add the water to the drug, ideally inside a water bottle or closed container, not vice versa, and shake. I recommend storing up to 3 days, and not making huge amounts ahead of time (hence the quart measure given - I give my birds 1 cup in a shallow dish by their regular water spot (no other water anywhere nearby) per day). The dosage is safe up to much higher amounts in small birds (20mg/ml, as in chicken) so if they drink more water in dry areas or on hot days, that's fine. Definitely don't dilute this product more than the above amount, and replace treated water daily. One bottle of this Tylan will make 100 gallons of treated water (or, in my case, 1600 (!) daily dishes full of treated water).

Remember, clean up after your birds, sweep up old seed, disinfect their areas, feeders and water dishes at least weekly, and either take down all feeders for a few weeks if a sick bird comes around, or if it's treatable (and a common disease like mycoplasma) try this out, using the above protocols. It really really works! (And remember, keep treating them at least 14 days, even if they look totally fine after 3-5 days (which they will*)).

*I am writing this review four days after I received the product, after a half a dozen birds, previously half blind, lethargic/not moving, really sick looking, are now hopping around, flocking together (instead of being driven off by other birds), and even singing (the females) while they come out for seed.

edit: Sorry about the long and somewhat dry review. My background's in biology, so I didn't mean to come off as an product placement and it's just me rambling in my normal voice ;)

it is my understanding that Angel's Eyes is just Tylan Powder mixed with chopped up liver. If this is true, then buying Tylan Powder directly is a much cheaper alternative,

Prescibed by our English Bulldog's veterinarian for brown streaks caused by excessive tearing, this poultry supplement is the only product that has given us positive result. Just 1/8 teaspoon sprinkled on his food daily keeps those streaks nice and clean. One jar has lasted more than a year.

If your dog has constant digestive problems I would highly suggest you forego all of the expensive vet medications and try this for your pooch. For my dog, and several others owned by friends, we had exhausted all remedies for recurring problems with digestive turmoil, loose and bloody stools, and frequent rumbling in the intestines. A 1/4 teaspoon a day wrapped in a piece of meat or cheese has resulted in a healthy and happy dog. You must try this.

Works & worth every penney! My cockapoo's eyes are lovely, and her licked areas are now less red, plus her nose is returning to its black color! But the surprise Bonus was that my 17&1/2 yr old toy poodle also had his skin lesions resolve! After researching the product, I found that it also addresses gut bacteria, so I am betting that a gastric problem was the origin of the skin disorder....Highly recommended. My guys weigh between 13 & 21 lbs. I gave them only 1/16th of a teaspon mixed with peanut butter once a day with their morning meal for 3 mos. Results seen within about a month. It has been 1 month since I stopped & so far no need for any more dosing. Vendor was prompt. Quantity will last 1 year or more & I treated 3 dogs.
