Duh, I really messed up on that one, LOL. I got my iasis's confused. I'm sure glad Dawg and Casportpony corrected my wrong post. Thanks, you two.

It's easy to get the iasis' mixed up lol!

Is this the vitamins that we should get for the chickens after completing the medicine?

Back in post #2 I had recommended vitamins and probiotics be given for several days after using Corid for treatment of possible coccidiosis. If you only treated for canker, then you could just give a probiotic.

Just for your info: Birds diagnosed with canker are carriers and will spread it to other birds in your flock, mainly by waterers/feeders. To keep it in check, I recommend that you purchase acidified copper sulfate. Dosage is 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water for 3 days once each month. Dont use metal waterers and dont overdose.

I would recommend some karo syrup and warm water mix. This should give her some much needed energy. This is totally safe to do while medicating.
