@casportpony Can you help here ?

 

[casportpony]

The amount is 2 teaspoons per gallon for 3-5 days, then 1/2 teaspoon for 7-14 days

If I have one that's not drinking I will give it orally too.

Corid 9.6% liquid - Do not dilute

• Give 0.1 ml per pound of body weight orally once or twice a day for 1-3 days.

or

• 0.02 ml per 100 grams of body weight orally once or twice a day for 1-3 days.

Thank you! Do you have to have prescriptions from a vet for this?
