My royal palm turkey has puffy eyes. I have had her on tetracycline for seven days. It would start to get better then her eyes would swell again. I could sure use some advice please. Lou

Sounds like sinusitis. I would go with Tylan, but I bet Denegard would work just as well. Make sure there is plenty of air circulation in the building.

I am sure that more knowledgable turkey people will chime in soon.

Google turkey rhinotracheitis, if this is what it looks like tylan 200 may work, but baytril works better and faster.

Where can you get Baytril? Do you have to get it from a vet?

You can get baytril at the vet but they likely won't give it to you if it's for poultry. The CFIA withdrew its approval for baytril to treat poultry a couple of years ago. It will be up to the vet to decide. However, if you have cattle, you can get baytril for them easily [so I understand.]
