was assuming the ivomec would due it, but recently changed over to safeguard

Corid dosing is confusing since there is the powder form that is mixed 1 to 1 1/2 tsp per gallon, or 2 tsp of the liquid per gallon. Sometimes there will be a stronger strain of cocci that will need a second treatment at half strength.

in doing research i am leaning towards ulcerative enteritis- since the corrid didn't work, and the symptoms are so similar-

No offense intended to anyone, but the Corid powder dose that is *equal* to 2 teaspoons of liquid (946 mg) is *absolutely* no less that 1.5 teaspoons (810mg), but not more than 1.75 teaspoon (945mg). One teaspoon of the powder has only 540mg of amprolium it.

FDA recommendations:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/animaldrugsatfda/details.cfm?dn=013-149
"Chickens
Indications: For the treatment of coccidiosis.
Amount: Administer at the 0.012 percent level in drinking water as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 to 5 days (in severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024 percent level); continue with 0.006 percent amprolium-medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks."

And this link has these instructions:
http://www.drugs.com/vet/amprol-9-6-solution-can.html
