Need help with Corid dosage

[Missa Chickabee]

I just now found this post from several days ago! The following is what Dawg53 gave me as instructions for the Corid I had:


Corid 20% soluable powder dosage is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Dont mix anything else into the corid/water solution.


I hope it's not too late and that would be if you got the help you needed from someone else.

This is what Chickens are Sweet gave me and it worked like a charm.


Corid 9.6% solution- that's the right stuff.

Take 9.5 ml and put it in a gallon of water. Mix it, and give that to them as their only water. Change solution daily. Give for 5 days. Repeat course if coccidiosis signs come back (have had to do this myself).

here's another (post #2 in this thread)

I gave you the threads above as corroboration of the dosage I am mentioning. I have given this dose myself and had excellent results. Death can occur within 24 hours so don't delay treatment.

Yes, it's chicks that are the most vulnerable although I have since learned they can get coccidiosis at any age. Give it to all of them in their water according to the correct dosing instructions. You may have to very carefully dropper feed (without forcing the fluid in her little beak) . I would just put on teeny drop at a time on top of the beek or a the side and she would go for it. Eventually I made a small "puddle the size of dime in the crook of my arm and she would drink..but not right away.

NO electrolyte and NO vitamins as the Corid is a thiamine blocker ( one of the B vitamins ) The protozoa of coccidiosis depend on thiamine to stay alive so........just their normal food and the "Corid" water. Altough I did make a mash of their crumbles with the Corid water on day 2 or 3 to make sure they were all getting enough of the med.

Be careful with the prep.
I kept mine in the fridge and kept using that til I need to make a new batch.

Forgot to mention only symtom is blood in stool.

 

[Missa Chickabee]

That's good that there are no other symptoms yet. You are saving them. What does it say on your bottle of Corid? We can chat about Marans later.
