So if you think they're about a pound, you could mix Corid powder like I suggested above and give .5ml (13.5mg) orally, I think that's close enough, lol.

Please, please, please, if anyone finds a flaw in my math, don't be shy, tell me!

All different. Here's what they were sold as:
RIR
Red sex link
Black copper mix
Yard bird mutt - maybe some game bird in it.

This is great! Thank you!!!!!!
I'll try to measure it out and set it aside each day. Then I can monitor it better.
You're awesome!!

The black one is pretty small, I'm gonna guess 250 grams. Is it the sickest?

-Kathy

 

[casportpony]

Two black ones... the smallest is probaly in the 50-75 gram range.

Curiously, is the vaccine effective against all known strains of of coccidiosis?

-Kathy

Most of the vaccines have give immunity to at least 3 ,4, or 5 strains depending on brands:

My bad. The itty bitty black one is a French maran. We just got him last week. He does not stay in the same area (he's in physical therapy) and has not shown any symptoms. The other black one is about 5 weeks while the others are around 7. The black one is doing the best right now.

I should add that the tiny one is also getting the corid just in case.
