Respiratory Problem

[casportpony]

Below are the amounts you need for one gallon. Divide those numbers for the per quart amount.

The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid Powder is 1/3 teaspoon 1.134 grams.
The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid liquid is 1/2 teaspoon or 2.375-2.5ml.

The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid Powder is 3/4 teaspoon or 2.268 grams.
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid liquid is 1 teaspoon or 4.475-5ml.

The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid Powder is 1.5 teaspoons or 4.536 grams.
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid liquid is 2 teaspoon or 9.5-10ml.

In addition to medicating their water, you can give it as an oral drench. When using the liquid the dose is .2ml per kg (.02ml per 100 grams). It can also be done with the powder, but it's not as easy.

Do you have a gram scale? I know you have a scale, just can't remember the range on it.

For those with gram scales, you can weigh one gram of the powder (200mg) place that in a 30ml syringe, then draw up water to the 10ml mark. Shake well. Now you have 10ml of 20mg/ml Corid liquid. With that liquid the dose is 1ml per kg or .1ml per 100 grams.

Liquid or powder? Treatment or preventative as I don't think your day olds would need the treatment level.

I have the powder. I also have two chicks that hatched out under a broody yesterday or the day before, we are bringing them in for protection and will be with the rest in the garage. So they are probably contaminated, we found one this morning out ranging with the older chickens in the yard wouldn't you treat them?

Thank you, I have been using your list but did not know at what range to use for the chicks, 12%, 6%, or even less since they are so young.

My scale does not go below 1.0 gm.

When I *treat* chicken chicks I do so at the .024% level and if any are looking really off I also give an oral dose for one or two days and that almost always does the trick. If I suspected my peachicks had coccidiosis I'd threat them the same and I guess I'd probably start the others that weren't showing any symptoms at the .006% level. Just remember that the .006% level is not enough to actually treat any bird, no matter what age it is, it's just a preventative, just like medicated feed is.

Long term use of Corid could, in theory, cause a thiamine deficiency, so research that a little.

Thank you, since this is really a preventative I will use the 6% solution, none of them are showing any signs of having a problem I just want to be sure that the chicks coming in from outside do not get sick or contaminate the others.

S- sensitive , so the antibiotic will work and R- resistant meaning will not work . The numbers are the MIC- minimum inhibitory concentration , so how small of an amount was effective - so a lower number is good because it took less of it to reduce the bacteria. If you see a fraction that is small, that is good, took a tiny amount to work and a low dose can be given to patient . Hope that helps explain the report

What is this disease?
It's not contagious ... it's chronic (sometimes the bird is better) ... we tried the wormers and this bird has finished to die!

Could be many things.
