Listless chicken

[Renee R]

My chicken has been listless for a couple of months. I finally took her to a vet and she tested positive for roundworms and coccidiosis. I gave her Wazine and then started her on Corid. She’s had 5 days of Corid and is still just sitting on the floor of the coop. What should I try next?

I am sorry she isn't feeling well.

After using the Wazine did you find roundworms in the poop?

How much Corid are you using?
Powder or the liquid Corid?


Btw...

I didn’t see any worms in the poop.
I am using 1 tsp of liquid Corid in 1/2 gallon of water.

The Wazine may have not worked then.
You may want to use one of these instead:

You can also give her 3 drops of the straight undiluted liquid Corid straight to the beak. Once a day for three days straight.
Maybe she isn't drinking enough water to get a good dose of the Corid.

Continue using the Corid in her water too.

I was planning to use Safe-guard 10 days after the Wazine. Do you think I should do it sooner? It’s been 6 days.

Yes I do especially if she tested positive for the roundworms and you haven't seen any.

I was concerned about how much Corid she was getting, because it’s hard to tell how much water she is drinking. I’ll try the drops. Thanks!

Great...I hope she starts feeling better asap.

I’ve read on other posts to give Safeguard for five days in a row. Do you agree with that, or just one dose?
