Dawg53, Sorry for repeating the question after you already answered it... for some reason the withdraw period did not come through my email but I can see it on the forum thread???
Thanks!

That liquid Corid dose is the one recommended for *severe* outbreaks and what I always use.DAWG53,
I know this thread is very old but can you (or someone) confirm the dosage before I start the treatment for coccidiosis.
2 tsp. of Corid 9.6% liquid solution per gallon of water. Give this for 5 days as ONLY source of water for all chickens getting treated. After 5 days, then give probiotics and vitamins for 3 days; After that, then give Sulfadimethoxine powder at 1/2 tsp per gallon of water for another 3 days.
QUESTION: Is there a withdrawal period with Corid for laying hens? Also, I'm not sure what Sulfadimethoxine powder is. Is it readily available at feed stores or is there another common name for it?
Thank you in advance,
Jennie
I have read that plastic is best for medications but I always use galvanized for Corid, and have had Corid save my chickens quite well with it.This may be a dumb question, but there is no problem with administering Corid in metal is there? I have one puffed up lethargic 3 month old chick I want to treat everyone but wanted to make sure the metal waterer wouldn't react with the meds.
Thanks!
http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary...lDrugProducts/FOIADrugSummaries/ucm148849.htmI just found this and have a few questions if none can help, please! I had ordered some Corid when one of my hens was sick last month. The meds did not make it in time, my hen died. Now I have another hen that seems to be sick. I want to treat them all before I lose any more chickens. I have the Corid 9.6 and it says on the bottle it's for calves... can I still use that for my chickens? How do you do the math to get to 2tsp/gal of water? It states there are 96mg Amprolium per ml of Corid, and I need 10mg/2.2lb body weight. How is that calculated? I like to doublecheck the math before doing harm or overdosing, please! Help! Thank you!!
Older hens are usually immune to coccidiosis. If they come down with it, it can be from immunocompromise. One thing to consider is worms or mites/lice. Another thing to consider is another disease process.I forgot to ask if I have to avoid eating the eggs for a while, and how long if so? I don't know what "withdrawal period" means, if it has anything to do with the chickens' eggs? Thanks again! I'll start treatment right away in case this is what it is!
