Updated - Corid and Amprol (amprolium) Dosing

[casportpony]

My vet told me there is a 10 withdraw on eggs when using corid.

Most vets will probably say something similar. I'll have to find that article.

Corid is very safe, so I use it at full strength even when they're on medicated feed.

Weigh them and dose by weight of course

Do you have the powder or the liquid Corid?

liquid....I was thinking about going at a rate of 1/2 tsp per half gallon....and then week later dropping down to 1/4 tsp per half gallon....right now I put multi vits and probiotics as well should I stop when using corid

Don't mess around, just use 2 teaspoons per gallon like the picture shows. The should not have vitamins with B1 when being given Corid.

yep sounds like a plan

I followed this higher dosage instructions (link from some other thread) and gave some to my 2 week old chick that seemed "off" - droopy/sleepy, smaller than the rest. An hour later I went to check and she was dead. There was something wrong with her, but she didn't seem in THAT bad a shape that she was about to expire. But who knows?

Sorry for your loss

It's pretty safe stuff, so I doubt the dose you gave killed it. How much did you use?
