Bloody Diarrhea

[Graceful Acres]

Oops. I didn't mean to say 'my girls.' It's just one girl.

Would she get 1/2 or maybe a 1/4 of a 1.0 dose?? Does that make sense?? Hoping someone sees this soon. Thanks

 

[Graceful Acres]

Also...once or twice a day?

@KikisGirls and @casportpony are very well versed in dosages

Ok...My girls is acting sick this morning. I do not have a scale to weigh her. Can someone give me an approx. weight? I need to give her some Corid. She is 8.5 weeks old. An Americana, I believe. Fairly big girl.

What you are asking is what to direct drench her at? Do you have liquid or powdered Corid?

I keep a gallon jug so I can make sure I make it right. I have been giving mine that are going through the same thing. I put 2 tsp in a gallon once a day for 5-7 days and with my gallon already mixed I just pour it into their water. If they need anymore water that day, I give them some fresh, but I take it away over night so in the morning they get a fresh batch.

OP is asking for dosing of direct oral drench - waiting on reply of which Corid they have so we can get this straight.

I purchased the liquid Corid and have now put some in their water. I am feeding Purina organic starter/grower.

You can give the chick a drop or two straight to the beak.

I'm sure there are answers to this question but I'm not finding it at this moment.

Was cleaning out chicken coop this morning where I have 8 week old big chicks. I noticed one has bloody D. Not sure if any others have but I did see the one. What do I need to give her? Meds? Add anything to their water? Sorry...but never seen this before. Thanks!!

Corid ASAP!

OP is wanting to know direct oral drench from this thread HERE
Since they have Liquid Corid (thank you Kiki) direct dose is 0.1 ml per pound. I would think that an 8.5wk old chicken is at least 1pound...so give a direct dose of .10ml once a day for 3days IN ADDITION to making the Corid water available for drinking.
