A quick Corid dosage question

[cicene mete]

I have the first signs of Cocci in one of my nine-week-old chicks. Am I correct that the dosage for Cocci with Corid 9.6% is 10 mL per gallon, once per day, for seven days?

Is it safe to put ACV in the water as well? Or will it interfere somehow with the amprolium?

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

NEVER PUT ACV IN WATER WITH ANY MEDICATION aS IT NULIFYS THE MEDICATION

AND THE CORRECT AMT OF CORID 9.6% IS 2 tsp TSP OF CORID TO GALLON OF WATER

do this for seven days

here is the way I have used corid

Well with all that has been said here is the thing with corrid
you can put it in the water for 7 days and yes it can be fed to adults as they get coccidiosis as well as the chicks

do this

this company sells corid
www.firststatevetsupply.com/store/ - Cached - Similar

HERE IS THE RECIPE FOR THEM ASAP YOU GET THE CORID
THESE TWO ARE YOUR SITUATION AT THIS TIME

(2 do any of them not eat or drink yet?

(3 do you see any signs of blood in the manure?
can be slightly if first day
most times they only drink not eat

(4 for coccidiosis I like amproylium best generally corid
but most feed stores don't stock it

My friend here gives some info on coccidiosis
Nathalie Ross"

(1 coccidiosis I think it might be helpful for you to know that coccidia are
very VERY hard to trace in a fecal. When I worked as a vet tech, it
was common procedure to go ahead and treat with a combination
antibiotic/antiprotazoan medication like Sulfa products (Sulmet being the most
common) based on symptom diagnosis rather than physical evidence of the
oocysts. use Sulmet to treat them for coccidiosis

(3 gut bacteria ..............................................................................
THIS IS PERTANT TO YOUR PROBLEM NOW
At 7 weeks, the babies are still in the
process of getting their gut bacteria in order. See, they're born
without any bacteria at all in their gut. So they eat at day 2, and put
food in there as a food source for themselves but also for bacteria.
Basically, it's first-come-first-serve for bacteria. If the bad ones get
there first, they take over and your birds get ill. IF there are some
good but mostly bad, the same thing happens. If you give your birds
probiotics (substances containing live beneficial bacteria) your GOOD
bacteria will have the advantage. Those good bacteria crowd out the bad,
make it impossible for the bad bacteria to live in anything but minimal
numbers, and thus help your birds to stay healthy. So I always
recommend giving probiotics weekly from week 2 til point of lay. Then I move
to once a month or as needed. You can use live-culture yogurt

(1 teaspoon per 8 newly hatched, moving up to 1 teaspoon per point of lay
bantam, 1 tablespoon per point of lay large fowl - no more please). You can
also use powdered livestock probiotics (Probios dispersable powder
being my absolute favorite - it's the choice of exotic bird breeders, and I
also have hookbills).

Or, you can go to the human health food store
and pick up a human supplement like "acidophilus" (Lactobacilus
acidophilus), or a combination of acidophilus and B. bifidum sold to combat
yeast infections. The latter is a particular useful thing for a poultry
hobbiest to have. The addition of b. bifidum helps combat thrush.
Thrush is essentially a yeast infection that is common to birds because of
the way their crops store feed in wet conditions. Things tend to get
fungus and yeast there, and thus the yeast infection. That infection
goes throughout the bird's system and is really a mess, so that
bifidum/acidophilus mix is the best. Try to find a non-dairy liquid, and you'll
have the ultimate probiotic.

(4 E.Coli ................................................................................

.............THIS IS VERY PERTANT FOR YOUR BIRDS
In case your babies are said to have an infection of E. coli (most
likely case) then you can try putting some vitamin E in their feed.

......................................................................
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BIRDS NOW
( GLH- advises using the 400 mg Vit E capsules cut end off and squeeze into wet mash
and putting in a wet mash for them to eat

( use one capsule Vit E per bird treating and do this twice a day for a week
Vitamin E helps fix E. coli overpopulations. You know what else helps fight
E. coli? Guess:
b. bifidum. It secrets a substance that E. coli just
can't stand. See where this is going?
Nathalie Ross, Houston, TX

Put the amt of corid in the gallon of water for 7 days
also make this wet mash with corid for two mornings
when they finish it clean out the wet feeders and restock the dry feed

if using corid 9.6%
for 9 chicks
18 tsp OF of dry mash
36 tsp of water
add 2 tbsp of corid 9.6% to the water
feed 2 tbsp per chicken for a feeding
feed this two mornings to get the medication in the birds
also at same time put the corid or sulmet in the drinking water for 7 days

each chick get 2 tsp of the wet mash with coccidiosis meds

speckled hen gives corid(9.6%) liquid in 3-4 tbsp of corid per gallon of water
and after medicating give the following things

THIS IS FOR YOUR CHICKS NOW

the corid amproylium will work for coccidiosis


THIS IS FOR YOUR CHICKS NOW
but now you have a difficient gut problem with the E.coli
and it needs to have the Vitamin E put in the wet mash probiotic to help the E.coli gut problem
do this

now the
natural probiotic recipe is is:
1/2 qt of dry crumbles
3/4 QT of milk, sweet, sour, or buttermilk or a mixture of all or some
1/4 cup of non flavored yoguart ( no artificial sweetmer)
mix good
YOU CAN ADD LAST ON TOP OF WET MASH
1/4 CUP OF APPLE SAUCE AS THEY WILL EAT THAT GOOD

NOW THE IMPORTANT INGRIEDIENT FOR EACH CHICK FED
and add 1- 1000 mg of Vit E by cutting the end off the vit E capsule for each chick fed this wet mash
putting it in the wet mash

this for each chick your treating
so for each chick use 2 tsp of mixture and 1-1000 mg of Vit E

twice a day for them till the manure is solid

and feed each chick
2 tsp full of the wet mash probiotic and what they will clean up in 20-30 minutes
then clean wet feeders and restock dry crumbles

do this twice a day for a week
till the chicks manure is right
then quit the Vit E make just the wet mash probiotic
then once a week for life

All the while after mdicating the birds use ACV IN THE WATER
do not use ACV with medication

2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon of the chicken water so their gut flora wil be regulated they should have this at least 3-5 days a week
then three days aweek after they are over coccidiosis


the vit's are neccessary to clean up the damaged gut problem
email me any questions so you are not confused

 

[cicene mete]

Wow, 3 to 4 tablespoons seems like an awful lot. That's between 45 and 60 mL. Are you sure about that dosage?

 

[logansmommy7]

Pardon me for hijacking the post, but what are the first signs? I am new to the chicken thing and don't know what to look for (except bloody poo).

Thanks!

 

[cicene mete]

Mine started showing just a hint of blood in the stool, and I know if you wait too long you can get very bad very quickly, so I'm starting the treatment now.

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

that is what they use for 9.6% corid
and seems to work well

come back with the full instructions on the bottle and will help you see this amt


this is proven fact and speckled hen who is the moderator here justifys that

A NOTE HERE
the old kind of liquid corid was 20% and you used 1 tsp per gallon or two tsp per gallon if bad case

when useing sulmet it is two tbsp[ per gallon for 7 days


the signs for coccidiosis is
weak chick
standing alone especially in corner
ruffled feathers
and only drinking water
and manure is runny
some times with blood and some time not

they die in 4 days after first showing signs of being alone

so watch your chicks daily and note any who are doing these things

and they get it about a week after being put on the ground
the soil can have 9 kinds of coccidiosis
one kind is only treated with sulmet
the others are treated with corrid

it is very good

The veterinary label on my bottle of Amprolium (Corid) 9.6% from First State Veterinary Supply indicates a dosage as follows:

Mix 9.5 cc/ml in a gallon of water and give for 5 - 7 days. For the treatment of coccidiosis.


Folks unfamiliar with coccidiosis and its symptoms might wish to read up on this -- as you would always want to do before treating anything. The advice and suggestions by Dr. Heywood (above) on diagnosis are worth reading!

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

I am not a vet just a chicken person of over 60 yrs experience

and still learning

I asked Speckled hen last week what the cc's are in amt's

GLH ASKED
Speckled hen what amt of tsp is the 9cc or 6cc?
thanks for helping out here

Glenda, the Corid liquid I use is the 9.6% solution. Costs me about $20 for 16 ounces. It's not easy to find around here, but First State Vet supply right now has a special on the powdered Corid, which may be a good deal.

5 cc's- 1 tsp

10 cc = 2 tsp. so, I'd say that a teaspoon and a half would do for about 6 cc.

For those who dont know, cc = ml, so if you have a measuring device that measures in ml, you can use that in place of cc's. GLH
so I guess it would be 2 tsp

and the ladies who suggested this is wrong

sorry for the misinterpertation of their posting

I will put it tsp in stead of tbsp as was told several weeks ago by one of the ladies
sorry for that thnaks for helping me out here

I originally said 2 tsp but was dramatically corrected on tbsp
any questions just email me

 

[cicene mete]

Thanks for the clarification. Teaspoons makes much more sense.

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

I did find the post that said tbsp and was by another lady

go here and read

I am totally confused now
this is the original post where I changed to 2-3 tbsp of corid
