Intestinal lining or coccidiosis?

[Amanda Campbell]

My 7 week old chicks have been on corrid for coccidiosis for 11 days now. Their poop has looked a whole lot better than it did when I started. It was EXTREMELY bloody. I have been watching the poop to see if I can take them off of the corrid yet. they are on 3/4tsp of corrid right now. My Chicken health book says they can be on it for 14 days. I don't want them to stay on it that long if they don't have too. Can I take them off it yet?

Do you have a vet that will perform a fecal float test for you? To me, that looks like intestinal lining, but it’s always best to confirm through testing.

What initial dosage of Corid did you use?

I agree that having a fecal float is always a good idea.

I suggest giving the severe outbreak dose.

I do have a vet, but no way of getting there! I really do feel like it is intestinal lining

I would give the outbreak dosage as @casportpony suggested.

Corid dosage 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon of water. Give for 5-7days as the only source of drinking water.
