I don't know about other people but I bleive tylosin-Tylan is a great antibiotic for use with the types of RI's that don't respond to normal anitibiotics like baytril or Amakacin. It seems to be better for there gut flora as well. They seem to respond to feeding very well on tylosin , which can be half the battle at least. 50mg / Kg dosage.
