Can someone please help me with the dosage of Corid 20%/1 gallon water

I have month old chicks and they have red current jelly stools. The oldest one is bleeding and is starting to look droopy.Please help me with the correct dose. Thanks!!

I'd give a teaspoon per gallon of the 20%. I usually use two teaspoons of the 9.6%, though some folks say only half that. If they are looking droopy, a teaspoon of 20% in a gallon won't hurt things, but if you're unsure, you could do 1/2 tsp. The important thing is to get them on it asap. Since Corid is not an antibiotic, a bit extra won't be harmful, IMO. You could also do a couple days at a teaspoon per gallon and half it the last three days.

Disclaimer: I'm not a vet, that's just the way I do things and it seems to work fine.


One teaspoon is about 5 cc/ml, if I recall.

Just make sure you use teaspoons and not tablespoons as that is a common mistake.
