Pooping blood

[coach723]

If you get the 9.6% Amprol liquid then it's 2 teaspoons per gallon of water for 5-7 days and then .5 teaspoon per gallon for another 5-7 days. If you get the 20% powder it's 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of water for 5-7 days and then 1/3 teaspoon for another 5-7 days.
You can also give them an oral dose directly in addition to the medicated water, for those that you know have bloody droppings or are acting lethargic or that are not eating and drinking well. Dosing for that is here (Corid and Amprol are the same):

Thank you very much

So I have gotten amprol and have put it in the silkies water 2 tsp to a gallon. There are still very bloody poops and they all now appear lethargic. They have been on this for about 36 hours. They are all huddled together and I am unsure if they are drinking. What else can I do?? should I expect to have seen some improvement at this point or is it too early?

Are they drinking well? The meds have to get in them to do any good. If they are not drinking well then you need to give them the oral dose for up to three days, I gave in post # 11, and I would give them some of the medicated water orally several times a day. How long it takes can very much depend on how much damage has been done to their digestive tracts.
