@KsKingBee and @Garden Peas , can you double check my advice and make sure I've said it in a sensible way? Thanks! Or re-write it it so it's easier to understand?

Perfect! The only thing I would suggest is that she only make the smallest amount of Corid water possible, the bird isn't going to drink but an ounce at most especially if she is getting wet feed. Shay could make a pint using 1/8th the amount of Corid and still throw most of it away every day.

 

[casportpony]

One Gallon (128 ounces) - 10ml Corid
1/2 Gallon (64 ounces) - 5ml Corid
One Quart (32 ounces) - 2.5ml Corid
One Pint (16 ounces) - 1.25ml Corid
One Cup (8 ounces) - 0.625ml Corid
1/4 Cup (4 ounces) - 0.3125ml Corid

Basically, it's about 0.08 ml of Corid per ounce of water. How's that?

No wonder you have a headache!

x2, I think the explanations are perfect. And yes, it makes sense for Shay to only mix up a cup of corid or so... that way she conserves her Corid supply and doesn't have to throw away good solution...

Although it occurs to me that the rest of her flock should also get Corid water ... so some could be put in the waterers for the outside flock(s) also -- that might affect how much she would like to mix each day...

But the first and highest priority is getting enough meds into Little Eagle at the right times and in the right amounts

I think your instructions were just right

Thanks!

Shay, is all this making sense?

How's Little Eagle doing this evening?

Wouldn't you just add 9 parts water?
