I really hope I'm giving the right medication but after reading this morning I seen where it says that Corid Is not an antibiotic, I have alot of Cockins ranging from 3 months to 2 yrs old they have been coughing and alil discharge from their nose but 2 of them have a swollen eye.Someone told me to give them corid so I've been putting 2 teaspoons in a gal of water .I have some noromycin 300 which is an antibiotic but I was afraid to give it to them.i just don't know what to do.none of them have blood in their poop and they are eating and drinking, I can hear wheezing in some of them

Go ahead and continue the Corid, it won't hurt. If they have a respiratory infection the Noromycin might help with that, so you can give that too.

Can I put the Noromycin in their water or just give it to them orally.I have 2 small cochin's I guessing they weigh around 1 1/2 pds maybe 2 pds how much of the Noromycin should I give them?..I had some antibiotics that my Vet gave me for when my dog had an eye infection it's called Neomycin/Polymyxin B I did use alil and put it in the 2 cochin's that have the swollen eye.

I use Sulmet with Sulfadimethoxine as a back up if I can't get Sulmet. I always have it on hand for chicks so just use it for the peas.

If you give a chicken Sulmet, you can never ever eat the eggs or the chicken. Look at the directions, it says so clearly. DO NOT GIVE SULMET if you want to eat the eggs, EVER.

otoh, Corrid doesn't even have a withdrawal period specified. Corrid is a thiamine inhibitor, which the bug needs to reproduce. Corrid is a very smart drug with very low toxicity, and this is coming from a person who prefers organic and herbal medicine.

Sulmet is what I use if their coccidiosis doesn't respond to Corid. Always a good one to have!

True, it's not approved for use in laying, but that does not mean that you can't eat the eggs if you observe a withdrawal period. Contact your vet for withdrawal time.

It is labeled for laying hens so zero day withdrawal when used as labeled.

I was misinformed about Sulmet-- it is NOT approved for laying hens but can be PRESCRIBED by a vet and apparently has a 21-day withdrawal, according to the information here below.

However, Sulmet only kills 2 of the 7 types of cocci, so Corid is a better medication because it kills all types. I have also succeeded in treating individual chicks with Kocci-Free, but only when I have them quarantined and can treat intensively.

This document will be of interest.
Note "lifetime withdrawal" means never eat eggs from that hen again because of persisting residue OR lack of information on product in laying hens
