tylosin for brown hair in old dogs and for lick sores
i found that brown hair occuring on my dogs was not just cosmetic as sometimes it lead to lick sores that were hard to contain. no vet had any idea of what it was or how to treat it but years ago it was an ingredient in angel eyes that dog show people used to clear up the brown stain on show dogs eye areas. so I tried the 25mg and it worked but took a long time. now I am using the 100mg every other day and I see the gradual change from brown hair back to white. it occurs mostly in dogs over 5 years old in my kennel but is stil leffective for eye stains in my show dogs if I am showing a white faced dog. I recommend using it for lick sores. I am not a vet, but have been a breeder for 35 years and am an MD physician.

Hard to review meds
We had Tylosin compounded as my dog wouldnt take the plain powder. Well, this must still be bitter, because she hates this too (she takes other meds just fine). Would be nice if it could be flavored. It does the job, but giving it is still a chore.

Great product
From UndisclosedComments about Tylosin (Compounded) 90mg, per CapsuleI choose this product on recommendation from my vet. Carson is 16 years old and had an issue with pooping occasionally in the house. He's never done that before and he also needed to poop sometimes very early in the morning. He was really off of his normal schedule and his poop was usually very soft and somewhat runny. Vet told me about this medication and it's been working wonderfully! He takes it every other day with it wrapped in a little peanut butter! Excellent product!! Back on his normal schedule now and much firmer poop.-

This product was most helpful.
From UndisclosedComments about Tylosin (Compounded) 150mg, per CapsuleMy beautiful boy acquired an immune disorder, lymphangiectasia, and to aid in getting his bouts of loose stools and diarrhea under control, my veterinarian recommended this product which we had compounded to fit his needs and dosing. Although this review is specifically for this product, we also had him a a wonderful probiotic, VIsbiome. VetRxDirect was my go to provider for most of his needs and was extremely reliable and staff always professional. It is with heavy heart to let you know Paddington has recently passed away. -

Order 3 weeks before you need it!
From UndisclosedComments about Tylosin (Compounded)Product arrived as ordered with a free sample of treats. The treats came in handy since it reminded me to follow the meds with some treats. The ordering process was easy however the compounding and shipping part was very slow. It took 2 weeks for the order to arrive. An email said the order had been processed and generally ships within 2-3 days business days. It didn't ship until a full week after that. It is a good thing this wasn't a drug I needed immediately. -
The best
From UndisclosedComments about Tylosin (Compounded)VetRxDirect is simply the best, efficient & least expensive pet Pharmacy going. i have been doing business with them for many years now.

The prescription states 1/3 teaspoon of tylosin soluble in the morning over food. Will it be okay to put in with 2 Tablespoons no salt chicken broth? She eats dry food.?
-
Please consult your veterinarian for recommendations on administration techniques for the tylosin. The pet would need to consume the full amount of the broth to ensure that they are getting all of the medication. Tylosin should not be premixed with the broth in advance and stored for long periods of time.

Can you tell me what size pill for a 100 mg cap? I want to see if I can get my RX set for online refills but need to make sure that my cat does not end up with a HUGE cap that I cannot get down her. Needs to take 100 mg for IBD daily. I have a current RX from the vet to send or attach.?
-
Tylosin is compounded in a standardized size 3 capsule which is 15.9mm long and 5.82mm in diameter. If you are concerned with this capsule being too big for your cat please contact your veterinarian.

My cat is currently taking 150 mg of tylan. The capsule total weight was 150 mg of the powder. Our vet then changed their pharmacy and we received another refill of her medication. This time the capsules were twice the size and still 150 mg of tylosin, but 300 mg in total weight due to "proprietary filler". Does your tylosin compound include this filler as well? The 300 mg capsules are too large for me cat to swallow and seems unsafe to try to pill her with them. So the main question would be is would I have to order the 300 mg capsule I order to obtain 150 mg worth of the medicinal part of the powder??
-
The strength you would need to order is the 150 mg capsule. The amount of active ingredient is denoted by the strength of the capsule (i.e. 150 mg capsule contains 150 mg of active ingredient). We do use some filler to aid in the compounding process and drug stability. The 150 mg capsules are now available through VetRxDirect in a size #1 capsule (for reference, the 125 mg capsule comes in a #3 size capsule, which is smaller than #1 size). Please call VetRxDirect directly with any additional questions.

What is the difference between tylosin phosphate and tylosin tartrate? Can they be used interchangeably? My dog is supposed to have 370mg tylosin tartrate twice daily.?
-
Phosphate and tartrate are two different salt forms of the medication tylosin. They both contain the same active ingredient tylosin.The product that we use to compound our tylosin products is specifically tylosin tartrate, so no adjustment would be needed for our available products. We do not carry tylosin phosphate so if you are looking to use this salt form dose adjustments may need to be made.

My vet said to give my dog 1/4 of a teaspoon. Which size capsule do I order? I know the teaspoon to mg conversion is different depending on the weight of the substance.?
-
We recommend asking your veterinarian. To determine what strength capsule you should order, you will need to know what dosage your veterinarian has prescribed, specifically how many milligrams in each dose.

Do I order capsules by the weight of my dog? My Great Dane is 177 pounds.?

Because the Tylosin compounded capsules are a prescription medication, your veterinarian should determine the correct strength and dosing directions for your dog.
