Chick with tail down

[Ashley_m]

I have a chick that hatched out on February 12 and 1.5 weeks ago it got sick so I used corrid and it had started to feel better. Now today it’s laying down puffy again and its little tail is tucked. It’s the dark brown one. I don’t know what to do. I separated her from the rest of the flock I have there 7 in total I kept these 2 together cause they are both about the same size. These 2 are the smallest of the bunch. The others are a little bigger but they are obviously not all the same breed either. I do feed them a medicated chick mesh.

Could it possibly be a reaction between medicated feed and medication given? I really don't know but I know that some meds and mediated feeds do not mix.

I’m not to sure as this is the first time I’ve dealt with sick birds. I have been pretty lucky to not have had to deal with sick chicks.

Did you actually finish the full course of Corid treatment? If so, how many days at severe dose and how many at maintenance?

5 days at 9.5 ml per gallon. I took out the water on the morning of the 6th day.

There should be an additional 1-2 weeks of maintenance level amprolium provided - https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ol-ampromed-the-correct-amprolium-dose.73341/

I used that amount, too, but apparently 10ml to a gallon is too much.
