powder I believe is whats available to me

Corid Powder is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon, but will not treat respiratory illness, it only treats coccidiosis.

This picture shows the oxytetracycline dose:

I would use the 800 mg dose of 2.5 tablespoons per gallon for respiratory illness.

What are you trying to treat?

Sorry I was away from my computer yes I see the pics I jist got home and both were dead. they were clicking when they would breathe so I assume respiratory infection?

 

[okiemamachick]

Can I mix the oxytetracycline with the corid?

 

[okiemamachick]

Ok I missed your other post so I shouldn't try the corid? And bump up the dose one the oxytetracycline? Should I go ahead and treat the other chick's in case?

Sorry for your loss. Are any more clicking? If you can, contact the state vet and ask about having them tested. Many states do them for free, so do call and ask. Refrigerate now and send FedEx in the morning. Ask them for their FedEx account number, it will be much less expensive that way.

How old are the chicks?

-Kathy

 

[okiemamachick]

The LF chick group was about two weeks old the bantam group was (I'm guessing) less than a week old we got the bantams from tsc on Sunday. One bird grow each group died.
