Is she drinking enough water? If not, you could give her a Corid drench. Do you have Corid powder of liquid? If you have the liquid you can give 0.1ml per pound orally once per day for two days. This would be in addition to her medicated water.

AS for the medicated water, everyone does it differently

, but I always assume it's a severe outbreak and treat per the mfg and fda recommendations which are listed below:

What is the definition of "enough" water? :) I have a pint jar in there on a chick feeder and it looks like she may drink half of that a day? I have the powder (enough to treat a cow!!). How would I give her a drench? I've given her yogurt to give probiotics and plenty of feed, along with corn and dried field peas. And greens. She's definitely perking up.
 
I haven't done the math yet, but enough water is probably 10% of her body weight, which is 1.6 ounces per pound.

If you want to give a Corid drench with the powder, mix 1/2 teaspoon powder with 2 teaspoons of water, mix well and give 0.4ml per pound orally.

Edited to add:
Do this for one or two days in addition to her medicated water.

to Okay...and how do I get her to drink this? With an eyedropper? When you said "drench" I was thinking I'd pour it on her back or something....: D
 
@casportpony Isn't drenching usually done with a syringe and tubing down the throat?

Kind of risky stuff until you've got the hang of it from what I've read.

Remember a tutorial video or something, was rather specific....would be good to provide instruction when suggesting drenching.


ETA: @ella&clara did they give a count of the bug/eggs they found...every chicken has some cocci in them, low levels need not be treated.

Also what happened with her comb?

Large amounts of fluids should always be tubed, but small amounts can be given with a syringe.
