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

[casportpony]

Did that work at all?
There's got to be a better way.
1st though can you see the pic?
2nd, how can I do it so it's visible within the post.
Sorry.

I can see it now! Uploading pictures on the new system takes a little getting used to. There are several ways to do it. I use the mountain icon to post pictures on the web, and the "upload "full image" to post from my hard drive. I have not figured out how to post from my phone yet.

Here is the Corid label from the web. You gotta click on it to be able to read it, lol.

Keep in mind those directions are for cattle, not poultry. Double the dose for poultry.

Ok so I just did terrible math. I feel really bad for doing that to my chickens.
The good news part is they're all ok. The only issue I see is runny rusty color poops from a few of them and I hope it can be attributed to the overage of Corid. I will hope and trust that goes away while they're on the 7-14 days follow up.
I've gone ahead and started the right dose you listed for the follow up 7-14 days.

I am concerned about the stresses involved in making "the big move" to the "Upstairs" coop/pen. Now that the pen has been free of raccoon attacks for a few months I am intending to reduce the over population that I believe (in combination with moving juvies into one of the front pens) started the whole cocci drama.

This isn't the forum nor thread to elaborate and ask the questions I have about those move decision since the questions I'm pondering have to do with genetic combinations that will produce one thing or another that are goals to occur and interests to be explored.
That I'll post in whatever other area that I find best suits that subject.
Thanks again for this big help!

Okay, so this thread has taken off on me. That's completely fine, but while I have you guys here. This is after day 5 of higher dose corid treatment. My other two girls have really nice normal looking poops, just the one left. Anyone know if this is an okay poop or if this means that something else is wrong? Tomorrow I plan to start them on some vitamins, and hopefully that will help her gain more weight and get the strength back in her wings (they are still dragging just a little low).

I can do that in the morning, you mean another 7-14 days of treatment? She had 5 days of treatment where I was only giving about 1/2 tsp before I learned I needed to do more. I really am nervous about how much she weighs, I'm afraid to keep her on it. She's eating good, just is still skinny.

It's up to you... just want people to know what the directions actually say.

Poop in current picture not cecal poop. Appears to have lots of water in it. Overall, bird still having trouble scavenging water from digesta making bird still prone to dehydration.

I can't get a good poop picture today, it's a lot more watery and she's not exactly pooping where I want her to, lol. Its a warm 90 out today, so I expect a little panting, but she how she's holding her wing low? The other girls have their wings up much higher.

What does it mean if she's prone to dehydration? Is there anything I can do?

Are you making sure she is drinking enough water?

 

[MightyMama]

I was giving them cooled watermelon, but how else can I get them to drink more? They don't seem interested in any other iced treats so far.

Fresh clean chilled water changed out through out the da is the only thing I can think of.
If their water is hot they may not want to drink it much.
You could place frozen water bottle inside their waterer.
