I am confused. Do you have both liquid and powdered Corid?

Yes, we've got powdered in the water because that's what we've been using. We bought the liquid and started using, per your dosage recs, when we found this thread earlier this week.

We feel confident continuing the powdered Corid in water based on what @TwoCrows has said. But we're unsure if we can continue doing the liquid drench beyond 3 days, even though she's not back to 100%.

It usually takes at least 3 days to see some improvement, they wont be anywhere near well yet. The parasites take days to die off and the bird to heal their intestinal lining from as the damage done. She probably wont start to look well until the 5th to 6th day. The Corid in the water should finish this off after a 10 day period, don't quit too soon on the Corid. So hold tight and give the water Corid time to work, she should be back to normal soon!

my suggestion to give 1-3 days is based on most get better after 1-3 days. If you feel like you're seeing improvement, give it more days.

To clarify--"give it more days" meaning give her more days to look better? Or give the meds for a few more days? Thank you for your patience with my questions!

I think it's okay to give for 7 days. If she is not better after 7 days I think you might want to try a different medication.

Is there an add'l OTC med we could get, like sulfadimethoxine, and combine treatments

Can you get sulfadimethoxine? You could try that too. You could also try Baycox (toltrazuril)

It appears we can order sulfadimethoxine online in the 107gm packets, and we can order from the site you linked. Do you have experience using one vs. the other? Or are they meant to be used conjunctly? With Corid as well? (Just hitting these protozoa from all sides, or what? lol)

Before go buy a bunch of meds, can you post some pictures of her and her poop?

Sure can, I'll go grab some of her now. We have seen some unmistakably solid poop in the last day or so, whereas previously it varied between what liquidy, mustardy color and sometimes somewhat solid. Her wings and tail are still droopy, which is the part that's troubling, although there are definitely times (especially when wandering in the grass with the flock) that she's more perked up. We even saw her fly 4-6' today!
Anyhow, will go grab some photos now.
