My wife and I had four baby quails that got sick, we aren't totally sure with what but we figured it was either cocci or Ulcerative Enteritis. We put the birds on Corid (today is the third day), but three of them still died. There is blood in their droppings and seems they die a few hours after the blood appears. There's one left and would really like to save him. He's about 10 days old. As a side note, we are finding it difficult or not possible to get medicines or professional help due to COVID affecting our area.

My questions:
Does anyone know if we can give the baby quail Amoxicillin? I have 500mg Amoxicillin in pill/powder form. If so, do you know how much I should give him assuming Ulcerative Enteritis is the cause of death?
Also, is it okay, safe to give him Corid and Amoxicillin at the same time?

I posted in another thread with more info here

Here are some other antibiotics I have on hand if any will work:
Ciprofloaxacin 500mg
Ampicillin 250mg
Clindamycin 150mg
Doxycycline 100mg
Erythromycin 250mg
Metronidazole 500mg
Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim 800mg/160mg

Here's some photos of the droppings:

Yes, it is safe to give Corid and amoxicillin at the same time. Corid goes jn the water, and amoxicillin is given orally. Dosage of amoxicillin is 125 to 250 mg per pound of weight twice a day for 7 days.
