After the Corid, for sure she'll need the vitamins and probiotics but during Corid, don't give her the vitamins.
Going to bath her and give her the warmer after I treat her vent.
So Corid treats coccidia, the protozoa parasite that causes coccidiosis. Coccidia is not a worm and Corid is not a wormer, just to be clear.
Corid is an amprolium based medication which works by blocking uptake of vitamin B, specifically B1 thiamine, which kills the parasite. This is why you must not administer supplementary vitamins during the course of treatment. Offering supplementary vitamins will render the medication ineffective. Regular chick crumbles is okay.
Sorry she seemed like she was getting better with the addition of poultry cell. But she’s gotten floppy again and lost weight.
She does look weak but her neck isn’t twisting and her legs look oriented the correct way. Can she place her feet in proper position on the ground, with forward toes facing forward and back toe facing back? Can she stand up by herself or always sits on hocks?
I would do the full course of Corid as per package instructions and then once that is done, supplement with poultry cell/vitamin B and E, scrambled egg.
Whilst doing the Corid you can soak her crumbles in buttermilk. This will make it more palatable hopefully and buttermilk will soothe her intestines and provide probiotics.
You can trim her vent feathers after you’ve given her a bath to hopefully keep them a little cleaner. The ammonia smell is most likely from the build up of poopy stuff.
