I saw all the dosages for Corid for mixing with water, what about a direct oral dosage?

So sorry to hear about your sick girl. Hope she's better soon. Keep us updated.

So I looked at her head again carefully tonight, no pus. There is just this dark spot, not sure what it is. I included a few more pics. I did start her on the Corid today. I also bought some amoxicillin for Plan B, but I know those two cannot be given together.

The dark spot looks like some sort of wound to me. Maybe she got pecked or something stuck her like a wire or nail. It would be hard to know the cause.

Were you able to take the scab off?

Yes, but it dilutes the power of Amoxicillin. See link:

Yeah, not sure I'd worry about it. Neither drug lists the other in the drug interactions section of Plumb's Veterinary Handbook.

I tried, there was no real scab to remove, just a darkened area under the skin.

Yes, but this is more current, than any vet manual.

Thank you! I just syringe fed her. Not sure if she will pull through, but I am giving it my best try. I love this girl!

Her crop is still full this morning, so much so that it puts her off balance. She falls a bit forward when I palpate it?

 

[mrhoodie]

I just massaged it, and emptied some of it. Hopefully she will feel a bit better, she may have an obstruction?

A crop issue is often just a symptom of another problem, as I think it is in this case. Your poor girl seems to have a lot going on. Are those blisters on her comb? It's unfortunate she has just finished molting with a bald head.
It could be a blockage causing her full crop this morning. Her whole system seems out of whack so it could be all blocked up.
Did you check for an egg as already suggested??
If she is egg bound nothing will really work for her until she passes the egg.
Only give her easily digestable food for now while her crop is acting up. Eggs, yoghurt, and most importantly - her own feed soaked in water. And keep massaging her crop, multiple times per day to help get it moving. I wish you and your girl the best. I hope she starts picking up.

Administration of the anticoccidial drug, amprolium, before amoxicillin in broiler chickens would altered its kinetic profiles as well as tissue residues. Therefore, under this condition, the dose of amoxicillin administration by oral route needs to be carefully adjusted.
