Im getting ready to give the corrid. U said use 1 tsp per gallon of water right? Was that the 9.6 percent solution?

One teaspoon is used for moderate outbreaks in poultty and for cattle, but the severe outbreak amount is 2 teaspoons per gallon, which is what i always use.

Might be better to keep them together so she's not as stressed.

If i put then together she will be happy..but im just want to double check that its ok for other 2 to get the corrid even tho they are not showing any signs?

Corid is not an antibiotic, so it's safe to give.

UPDATE: we have been watching her closely before giving the corrid and she has had regular poo and acting normal. But noticed as they are eatting the poo and shavings..so even tho we could not find anything n her throat it could have been down n a place we could not see.we are in process of putting a wire mesh at the bottom of their place to help with this. They like to dust in the shavings. Any good ideas on what I could give them to dust in if there's no shavings and a wire mesh?? They do have a box we make them one everytime it get yuky we call it their bed. I could put sand or something in maybe?
