What's wrong with my chick!! HELP! She was fine this AM

Have you gotten any Corid to start in their water? It's in the cattle medicines at feed stores in powder packets or liquid Dosage is 1 1/2 tsp of powder or 2 tsp of liquid to a gallon of water, and change it daily. I would place her back with the others and give them all Corid for 5 days. As for the sick chick, give her a couple of drops of undiluted Corid twice a day, and then dip her beak into the Corid water several times every hour. To make the concentrated Corid from the powder, take 1 1/2 tsp of powder and add to 2 tsp of water. Medicated feed does not necessarily prevent coccidiosis, so she needs the medicine in the Corid which is a higher concentration of amprollium.
 
She didn't make it. I had work at 8 and thanks to a surprise visit from my boss wasn't able to get out to run to the store until 12- and the closest store that had the Corid was 1:10h away. She was still breathing when I got back at 2:30 but died while I was diluting the liquid. Tried to give her a squirt still and hold her under the heat lamp and rub and stimulate her anyways- it was literally minutes after I got there she stopped. Couldn't save her.
Rookie move, cost the little one her life. I'll never not have it on hand again- and for sure be aware of all/any stores in my area that carry it
