Corid - Does it ever NOT work?

[meadrian]

I have three new 11 week old chickens. One got coccidia and of course, the others followed. They've been on Corid for 3 days now. Yesterday the poo looked lots better. Only one had some "hamburger" blood. This morning there was more of it. Looks like two, if not all three still have the "hamburger" looking blood in their poo. At least it's not the bright red stuff. They're all eating vigorously and drinking. No one is lethargic. They run around chasing each other and catching flies. But I'm concerned that the symptoms haven't gone away.

Could it be that their intestines just aren't healing well? Will this be an issue to treat? I've treated a chicken with corid 5 years ago and it worked within 24 hours. that's all the experience I've had with it.

Is there anything else I should be doing? I need help!!! Although they're not acting sickly, I want to avoid any of them becoming that way if I can help it.

Thanks!

Corid has always worked for me provided they were drinking water.

They are drinking the water. Did thesymptoms leave right away for yours?

Sometimes they were better in a day, but other times it seemed like it took the whole five days for the blood to disappear.

That's a relief to hear. I kept thinking something was wrong if it hadn't cleared up by now. So the corid is given for 5 days? I've heard 5 and I've heard 7.

Not that I'm any kind of expert but I've read that you give it to them for 1 full week.

Can't remember, what does the bottle or package say, lol. Either way I think would be fine.
