Corid, Cocci?, Not better after 5 days...

[Kiki]

Here is a thread for Corid dosing:#593
Have you treated them all for the lice yet?

Since they have already been on Corid for 5 days, do I just continue with it at the higher dosage? Is that safe to keep going?

I just got the Prozap in the mail today for the lice, but I did put DE down in their run and coop, as well as put a little on them until I could get the dust. I'll be taking care of that tomorrow.

How many days have you done the higher dose?

 

[MightyMama]

So far just one, today is day 2 if I continue

Have you taken their poop to a vet for a fecal test yet?
Have you ever wormed them?

 

[MightyMama]

No, and I thought that was what corid should do...I'm very very new to actually owning chickens. It really sucks having to learn when I'm still learning all the basics

Corid will only treat cocci.
Cocci is not worms.

It would be best if you could take some poop in to the nearest vet's office and have them test it to see what actual medicine they need. It's very cheap.

Mix up 1/2 teaspoon with 2 teaspoons of water and dose the sickest one(s) with 0.34 ml per pound orally.
