Coccidiosis? 5 week old chick

[Harmoni]

I'm not seeing any bloody poop. All 11 chicks were treated with corid powder 3/8 tsp in 1 quart of water for 5 days about 2 weeks ago. The youngest chicks are 4 weeks, but only the oldest is having symptoms. She is acting less active and sleeping while standing. Should I retreat all of them? Isolate and treat only her?

She looks really sick, probably has it worse.
I usually treat for 7-10 days depending on severity, & usually do an oral drench for the one that got the most impacted.

Coccidiosis doesn't always include bloody stools.

Should I separate her and do a drench? What's the dosing for a drench? I only have the powder. She was fine last night, so she declined in less than 24 hours.

I use the liquid. I find it easier to use.

Separation isn't necessary.

Dosing for the drench is usually according to weight. But that's something I don't worry much since it's a gentle drug, & hard to overdose with.

So do a drench and then put it in the water for 5 days? Or should I do longer? What if she isn't eating? Is there a direct single dosing option if she doesn't want to eat?

A drench each day. Plus the corid water.
The drench can be made with the powder, if I remember correctly if you don't have the liquid.

See if she's eating, if not force feed her for awhile during treatment. Gotta keep her fed.

@casportpony, wanna help with this? I don't know much about the powder version of Corid.

I found this article which was helpful with dosing and even a single dose.

How is this little chick doing? I was about to post about my 5 week old with Coccidiosis and found you have same situation. Poor little Buff looks just like yours, all puffy... I have 4 others that seem fine, this just appeared this morning. So I started Corid water and gave her a little mixed with water in the same dropper above. Stupidly I gave Nutridrench this morning when I saw she seemed a little down. Then I realized Nutridrench and Corid will cancel each other out, and tossed out the Nutridrench. Hope your chick is okay! This is my first time with Coccidiosis after 20years with chickens, ugh.
