Chicks shedding lots of intestinal lining

[Kiki]

That doesnt surprise me. I've had that happen as well.
I agree, it would be best for Keelio to get her birds started on corid.

Negative fecal (I should mention it was on a dog but still it was negative) pooped out not only tapes but also one roundworm.

eta. all poop is tested the same way.

I’ve never used Corid. Could you tell me dosage for that? Just purchase it at a local feed store?

Dosage is a tad different for the liquid vs the powder.
Let us know which one you buy.
NOTE that is does not say chicken/poultry on the bottle/package.

At the feed store it should be in the cattle section. It will say Corid 9.6% liquid solution on the bottle. Dosage is 9.5cc's per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Make it fresh daily and dont add anything else to the mixture.

Does it matter that they’re already on the medicated feed when it comes to giving them Corid? I know if they’re vaccinated against coccidiosis you shouldn’t give medicated feed, I’m not sure if that matters with Corid though.

Corid is a thiamine blocker. The amprolium in the medicated feed shouldnt be enough to cause overdose if Corid is used. If you're concerned, I can provide you a link where to order the SMZ/TMP if you wish. Just let me know, ok?

That link would be helpful, thank you very much.

If you get the powder the dose is no less than 1.5 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then 1/3 teaspoon per gallon for 7-14 days.

Some stores carry Amprol or AmproMed and either of those are fine too. Same dose as Corid.
