Advice please, the vet cannot see my chickie until 5pm tomorrow☹

It starts with a t, either tetracycline or teramycin I will have to look. I cannot find chicken corid, only corid that says for cattle.

That is the correct Corid to buy and use.
Looks like one of these...I prefer the liquid.

Did the vet test some poop while you were there?

No she did not bc there was none. She was very "guarded" in her prognosis. I thought poop would have been important to check.

Tsc had that kind. Is it safe to give her with her current antibiotics?

I will have to eye dropper the water in her mouth, she is not eating or drinking on her own at this time.

Yes Corid is safe to use along with other medications.


If she doesn't drink she will die. Can you tube water and feed her?

I really think your chick is suffering from coccidiosis.
Can you call you vet back and ask if he can check some poop for you real quick if you bring the poop in?

You be extremely careful for single liquids in their mouth because if you get it down the wrong pipe it will end bad.


Drop water by the drop on the side of the beak and let her swallow it herself.

Offer her water often.

I have about a month old americauna chick, I think she is an Easter egger actually (if I understand the breeds correctly). Yesterday she came out of the coop all puffed up. She seems very thin compared to the other 8 chickens. She is very cheepy, she seems to have diarrhea (I dont have a picture and havent seen her poop today). She has sneezed a couple times but no audible congestion and no discharge. I have dipped her beak in water and she seems to drink. She kind of eats but she is definitely lethargic compared to her normal self. The vet cannot see her until 5pm tomorrow. Is there any advice I can do for her until she can see the vet. Her name is Puff. Everyone keeps saying chickens sometimes die but I think she just has a bug or something. Thank you in advance.

Make sure that has no constipation. Check her after. If looks pesty and obstructed by feces use luke warm water and little sponge and remove it. After that you can put with small pipette two three drops of olive oil in chick's cloak.
Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

Dosing for liquid Corid is put 2 teaspoons or 10ml in a gallon of water everyday for 7 days and then 1 teaspoon or 5 ml in a gallon every day for next 7 days. Do a fresh mixture daily and treat all chicks you may have. I too just treated with Corid and I couldn't find dosing amount for chickens since it only said it for cattle. I called the number on the Corid bottle and they connected me to their on-call vet and he gave me the dosing amount.

For the future, in case you need it again:

Notice the amounts are different depending on if you are using the powder of liquid version of Corid.

Also, this is for the direct to beak drench dose, which is great for really ill birds that won't drink.

Notice the drench is given in addition to the water mixture.

Thank you all so much. I have procured corid from tsc and will start her on it. I will keep you updated. She is pretty sad, I'm worried we are too far gone but hoping for the best. I really love this little chicken.
