Question- do I still give her 2tsp per gallon of the corid in her water or would it be less now since its no longer a severe case?
Also how long do I give it to her for?
Thanks!
Quote: If she were mine I would give the 2 teaspoon dose for 5 days even though she does not appear to have a severe case, then the 1/2 teaspoon dose for a week or two more. Truth be told, I'm quite lazy and usually just give it for 5 days, but I wouldn't feel right telling you to do that.Though I do have some peachicks that I've just started on Corid, so will probably do them five days at 2 tsp and thn 7-14 days at 1/2 tsp.![]()
FDA recommendations:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/animaldrugsatfda/details.cfm?dn=013-149
"Chickens
Indications: For the treatment of coccidiosis.
Amount: Administer at the 0.012 percent level in drinking water as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 to 5 days (in severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024 percent level); continue with 0.006 percent amprolium-medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks."
And this link has these instructions:
