Corid and VetRx??

[BigBlueHen53]

Never used it myself... just looking at the bottle it reads like a cure-all, mostly contains herb oils. I've never had a bird with any of the listed problems it claims to treat, so wouldn't have had a reason to test it out. Definitely wouldn't treat coccidiosis though.

VetRX will not do anything for coccidiosis. I have used it quite a lot for helping chickens with facial and respiratory inflammation due to stuff being up the nose that shouldn’t be. It’s very, very good for helping chickens expel stuff that’s gotten pushed up past the nares and for stopping sneezing fits due to getting into particulate irritants, but beyond that it won’t do much.

Thanks, you two!

Update! We got the Corid last night and put it in their water. I heard it works quickly, so hopefully I'll have another update by tomorrow.

I believe you need to provide the Corid water for five days and no other water during those five days. No vitamins during treatment, including no medicated food. Fresh Corid water daily. Follow treatment with vitamins.

You probably won't see results immediately since it takes a while to starve out the parasites but within 48 hrs is a good window to evaluate. I'd expect to see the lethargic bird perk up a little more, maybe be less hunched, but still probably a bit tired and maybe eating less than others.

3-5 days to start (at "severe" dilution) and then maintenance dilution for another 7-14 days, depending on how they're doing. And yes it should be the only water source, to ensure that all birds are getting dosed because if one has it, very likely others have it as well.
