How soon again can I treat with corid

[DolceVita]

I treated for 14 days maybe 2:3 weeks ago but have a lazy looking Black Star and just got 2 new babies. The babies ate medicated food at hatchery and I just want to make sure everyone is coved. It’s been raining and muggy. The black star is separated from the babies and is housed with 2 others. They are 3 years old. I just am wondering if I can do another treatment for everyone

"Lazy looking Black Star." When was the last time she laid an egg? If she's not eggbound, I recommend worming your 3 year old birds including the Black Star with either Valbazen or Safeguard liquid goat wormer. No need to worm the chicks yet.

Ok forget about the lazy Black Star. I corid my 6 babies 2 weeks ago and I see some bloody poop in the 2 new babies I got Can I do a corid treatment again for everyone? @Eggcessive

 

[DolceVita]

Sorry I’m just rushing cause I saw bloody poop and I’m going out of town and want to know if I could put them on treatment with everyone else cause everybody has been exposed. I do f want to separate cause they are still working out pecking order. So if I did corid 2 weeks ago for 14 days can I do it again

I think it’d be fine. I think it’d be worse not to treat if they have coccidiosis.

How are the chicks acting? I would try to get some droppings checked by a vet for the pressence of coccidia overload. Two weeks seems early to give it again to the young ones. There might be some resistance to Corid, and a sulfa antibotic or something else might be needed. Post pictures of the blood in droppings if you can.

The ones who have been treated 2 weeks ago are like 3 months old. The new babies are like 4 weeks and have not been treated before.

Since you're seeing bloody poop in the 4 week old chicks and if you havnt treated them with Corid, do so.
Do not use Corid again on the 3 month old chicks. You'll need a sulfa drug to treat them as @Eggcessive mentioned.

 

[DolceVita]

I don’t see any coccid in the 3 month olds. Would it hurt the 3 month olds if they drink the corid water?

 

[dawg53]

No, it wont hurt them. Why would you want to treat them if they're not showing symptoms?
