How much amprollium are you adding to water? Do you have the liquid or powder? Dosage is 2 tsp (10ml) of the liquid or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5-7 days. Then give another 5 days at 1/3 of the dosage. Probiotics or a small amount of plain greek yogurt added to feed with a bit of water will add probiotics to the gut.

You can give some of the undiluted Amprollium orally 2 drops twice a day. To make a concentrated liquid out of the powder, add 1.5 tsp of powder to 10 ml of water.

Welcome to BYC and sorry that your chick is so weak. It may be coccidiosis or just a wek failure to thrive chick. Hoepfully you can save it.

Thank you for your answer,the dosage is as you mentioned(marked on the pack)
I also add 1 ml electrolyte /L to the water.
The cicken seems worse than before....
Should i cut out the bacitracin?

There shouldn’t be more than one thing mixed into the water. I would use the amprollium (Corid, amprol) in the water. If you have NutriDrench or other electrolytes, give it orally, not in the water. The bacitracin probably should be discontinued or given later after completing the amprollium. Bacitracin can be useful to treat enteritis, which sometimes can be a complication after coccidiosis. Most of us in the US cannot get it over the counter anymore.
