I understand completely, believe me.Ok they didn't have Corid they were out but I got this because the girl said she had good luck with it. I got the tylan 50 and some safe guard. She also said she used Terra vet tetracycline and I got some since it was only five bucks. I told her I was already using the oxytetracycline injection she said use this too. She also gave me the phone number for a vet that deals with chickens some. I really. Hope some of this works if not I might just say screw it and see who lives and who don't or cull them All and start over in the spring. I can't afford any more expensive meds unfortunately
I have some 3ml syringes, think that will work or too big? I really need to get a scale of some sort to weigh her, she is a cochin bantam so she probably looks a lot bigger than she really isThe amount I would give is 0.23ml per pound orally for five days, Do you have a one ml syringe?

I understand completely, believe me.We had a $165 vet bill for an older rescue bunny the other day only to have him not make it through the night.We never got a diagnosis, but one of the things mentioned was coccidia. The problem with animals like chickens and rabbits is that they are prey animals and will not show that they aren't feeling well until they are quite bad off and need immediate treatment to be effective. I try to use preventative, natural remedies when able, but I also keep certain meds on hand if symptoms do start showing up so there is no delay in treatment. You will be prepared next time.
As far as the extra heat, being inside is good, but may not be enough. Think about when you have a flu. Doesn't it help to be wrapped in a nice, warm blanket? If the chickens are not eating well or the digestive tract is compromised, they must burn fat or muscle to keep warm. By the time most chickens show symptoms of illness, they are thin and don't have much of either available. If the body is spending so much of it's energy to keep warm, there is not much left over to fight the illness. If you are able to set up a brooder with an area that they can go to warm up if they want, it may help. I know it did with mine.
there were about 10 tablespoons of the sulfaDo me a favor with the sulfa... count out the number of tablespoons and let me know how many there are.
