on corid and having bloody stools HELP

[ten chicks]

I'm not positive, but I think the math is going to show that it's closer to 1 teaspoon. Now I need to figure out how many teaspoons it takes to get 912-960 mg of amprolium, cause that's how much is in a gallon when you use the liquid at 9.5 ml or 2 teaspoons.

Make sense? Sure wish I could explain things better, might not tick off so many people, lol.

Again, no offense intended.

-Kathy

It is closer to 1 tsp(.92 tsp), i have done all calculations,but i figured this would probably get some upset and question whether i knew what i was doing,so i compromised on 3/4 tsp. Lol

Really it makes sense,the 20% is almost 10% stronger than the 9.6%,so the dosage for powder should be 1/2 the dose of the liquid.

This is bound to keep coming up and I'm sure many people aren't going to like what we say, lol, but they really should go do the math and try to understand the difference between treating for moderate and severe outbreaks. What really bothers me is that so many people have been under-medicating with the powder... I wonder how many chicks would be alive if they had been treated with the proper amount?

Well I am thankful that yall know your stuff!! No blood today so I guess it could have been a shedding but they seem happy and healthy so thats what counts. I raised chickens growing up and then again for FFA in high school, and boy I missed the bus on alot of this stuff back then!!

 

[Just chicken]

I don't have any advice to offer but wanted to send a prayer out your way. I had a sick girl with coccidiosis a few months back. I was lucky that she made it and noone else got it. This place is just such a wealth of info. I'm so happy to have found it.

 

[2jsbabyfarm]

Also, thanks for being gracious enough not to treat me like a ding dong for my lack of know how! This is the first time raising chickens for pleasure as to livestock, so I really do want to learn and also keep our babies healthy!!

So I’m using the 9.6 corid liquid and I’m doing about 2 1/2 tsp per gallon of water and there is still blood in the poop even after 4 days of treatment? Is that normal? Originally the first two days I did just 2 tsp per gallon of water end I increased as there is still blood?

Liquid Corid dosage is 2 teaspoons per gallon of water.
Is the Corid water the only water they are drinking?

If you can please post some photo of the poop that may be helpful.

Yes it’s the only water I am giving them access to. Will post pictures

 

[casportpony]

I would give them a direct, undiluted dose. Give 0.1 ml per pound of body weight orally once or twice a day for 1-3 days. Do this in addition to their medicated water.

If the Corid doesnt work, you're going to have to use sulfadimethoxine or SMZ/TMP.
