Blood in poop! What to do?

[algopurple]

I lost 4 more Saturday, 7 total so far. The guy in MS said he would call me with the shipping Sat. but I never heard from him so I am ordering from one of these online places. I wish he would never have said he was going to ship. Even asked me for my address.

I just went to this site and got Corid. http://www.poultrysupplies.com/index_files/page0019.htm Thanks to whoever gave me the link on this thread.

OH, that just bites! I'm so sorry. I'd continue calling around...it really does surprise me that you can't find it around there anywhere...wish I could think of other places to try!

Update and new question.
The guy in MS did ship the corid. Got it in the mail today. He sent it with no bill and just took a chance that I would pay him back. Really nice. I gave him up this morning and ordered some off line so now I am going to have 2 bottles of this stuff.

My question is this stuff is for calves and says to add the whole bottle to 100 gallons of water so how much do I add to 1 gallon of water?

 

[easttxchick]

Add 1 tsp. per gallon of water.

Dealt with this this past weekend myself...Good luck to you!

If you scroll down in this post, there's a dosage chart for most all meds - maybe print it off or copy/paste into another format that is easiest to use:

Corid must be working. Still seeing blood but no more have died since Saturday!
How long befor I can know they are all clear?

 

[Wynette]

You just started the Corid yesterday, right? I think it's a 4-7 day course, but I'm not sure. I used a sulfa drug when I had cocci the one time, and it was 3 days. GLAD you haven't lost any others!

Lost 2 more today

This cocci stuff is unbelievable!

 

[Wynette]

Awe...I'm so sorry, Elizabeth! If it's Cocci that they definitely have, you shouldn't lose any more now that they've been on it a few days. The key is to keep their bedding and area VERY DRY. Also, if they are crowded, that presents issues as well. Hang in there!
