Could this still be coccidiosis?

[krissyweso]

This was such a great thread to read this morning!! I feel like these happy endings don't happen enough. Watching her go from looking so sad and sick in that first picture to her looking so happy and healthy in the most recent really warmed my heart.

So happy for you and your baby. Happy (Chickie) Mother's Day!!

Here’s Gracie 7hrs after giving her a direct dose of corid again as well as her drinking the corid water… she’s walking around and eating again as if she wasn’t completely listless half of yesterday until this afternoon. She’s still slower than the other 2 but now she’s eating with them and curious. Her crop is full as well. Still going to treat with the sulfa antibiotics when they come because I see intestinal shedding in the poop from the chicks a few times a day.

What what the direst dosage ? I have a 6 year old Bantam and I believe she's also suffering from the same illness , she's very small maybe a pound , any idea what the direct dosage would be for her ?

Hello. I have a 6 year old Bantam chicken. I think she's currently suffering from coccidiosis. I'd like to give her a direct dosage but unsure how much to give her , she's very small i don't even think she's a pound but possible max a pound , any recommendations for the direct dosage ?

Direct dosage, as you call it, is called "drench dose". You use Corid undiluted at .1ml per pound of body weight once a day for three days in addition to the Corid water which is five days, and wait a week after the fifth day and do five more days of Corid solution. No drench doses necessary the second round.

Well Gracie is turning into a beautiful Ameraucana pullet (I think lol)!!! She’s getting along great in the main flock and growing so well! I just had to post this update because she’s looking so amazing from where she came from in the beginning of this thread!
