Is this poop normal?

[Cryss]

How many days should I throw eggs away after the final dose of Corid? And after the final dose of Valbazen?

No withdrawal for Corid, most people do 2 weeks with Valbazen.

Thank you! Good to know.

I’ve held off giving meds as I observe for awhile. Noticed wet areas in the same spot for several days. Then a spot of blood in a poop.
Started Corid yesterday. They get their water dumped and refilled each day even if it looks clean.
Tonight we traumatized all 15 birds once they were settled for the night. Like ninjas we snuck in with a syringe and a bottle of vile liquid, Valbazen. Hubby Bern snatched up each bird speaking their name to them so we made sure we didn’t double dose anyone. Mr. Pecca Roo aka Roopecca got .75ml. Hens got .50ml each. Young pullets got .25ml each. Bern held them while I administered, following instructions found here including a video. I did my best to syringe down the right side of the tongue. As we were leaving them as quietly as we had arrived no one was coughing. I’m taking this as a good sign. We shall see.

ok, full disclosure. We were noisy and disruptive, poor babies. Not sure who was more scared, them or us! Thankfully it is true no one was coughing so dispite our clumsy attempts to keep things calm it all seemed to end well.

I just finished dosing with Safeguard, 2 doses over 10 days measured by bodyweight for roundworm. The 14 day egg withdrawal stinks but at least they are worm free. Seems to work pretty good.

I just re-read this comment. Did you mean to say you gave 2 doses over 10 days of Valbazen? My understanding is that Valbazen only needs 2 doses over 10 days but Safeguard should be given for 5 consecutive days. That’s why I bought Valbazen. Did I do it right or did I make a mistake?

You gave Valbazen correctly—a first dose and a second dose within 10-14 days.

Thank you. I was worried.

Just to make sure...
I’ve read differing opinions on withdrawing eggs after medications.
Corid I’ve heard/read 2 weeks or not at all or never eat the eggs or the meat.
Valbazen I’ve heard/read anything from 1 week to 4-6 weeks.
So this Saturday will be 2 weeks since the last Valbazen dose, 19 days since the last Corid dose.
When is it safe to eat the eggs?

Also my pullets are getting close to POL and I’m looking forward to having lots of eggs soon!

Most wormers such as Valbazen have a 14 day egg withdrawal time. Corid requires no egg withdrawal time, and is not an antibiotic.
