There is no problem giving water right after, just do not add the wormer (such as Valbazen) to water, so they get the proper amount. Some wormers, such as piperazine, are added to water, but most are not. Because it depends on what medicine you are giving, as to how it is diluted, they all won't be mixed the same way. I don't know of anything that would be affected by giving water afterward. If you have a specific medicine to ask about the dilution, I could try to help you.

naw just wanted to offer each chicken a drink from their cup or glass thats in their coop
I didnt know if it affected say, Safeguard, etc and as it went down their throat from the oral syringe it it got diluted too much. Since I offered wtr right afterward. causes its chalky looking. Only a few would drink any period afterwards. some quite a lot. Mostly they are PO,ed..afterwards...
thanks
