Yellow mucus like poop, not acting like herself. HELP.

9.6% liquid would be 9.5ml (912 mg) per US gallon.
20% powder would be 4.5 grams (900 mg) per US gallon, which I think is 1.5 teaspoons. The powder dose is *not* 1/2 teaspoon like many think it is.

I have dosing links that I'll post when I get on the real computer, lol.

No offense intended to anyone, really, but the dose for severe outbreaks is ~900mg per gallon, moderate outbreaks ~450mg per gallon and "post treatment" dose is ~225mg per gallon.

I haven't bought either yet. I'm going to go buy some after work and immediately go home and does my girls. None are showing symptoms, but I'm not taking any chances. I have 6 ladies left.

It is confusing. I actually figured out the dosage last year but forgot it. The confusion comes from using volume conversion instead of weight conversion.

1.5tsp per gallon for 5 days and then 1/2 to 3/4tsp for another 5 days.

casportpony- A source from a book Called The Back Yard Flock by Mike Strecker says to treat them every thee weeks until they are 9 months old and then treat them once a week after that. Would that be a good idea?

Lol, I have noooooooo idea, I just treat mine when they show signs.

The Corid dosing thing is confusing when it comes to the powder, and it's why I use the liquid

. The math is so much easier with the liquid - I am *not* smarter than a 5th grader!

Me too but a friend just had a Marans pullet, over a year old come down with bad Coci. She is responding to treatment but I am wondering if they should treat their hens once a week.

 

[LadeeDeVo]

I bought liquid corid on Amazon. Well it hurt them to treat them if they don't have it?

Kathy, neither am I lol hence all the dosing questions

It won't hurt them buy you should give them b vitamins along with the treatment.

I wait until I see symptoms. I recentl hatched Pita Pinta and EO Marraduna Basque hens. They are 16 and 13 weeks old now and I have not had to treat them.

This is when they were 6 weeks old. The Pita Pintas are the white and black chicks. The barred chicks is a Basque Hen cockerels. The brown chick is a Basque Pullet:

Most of us tell people to avoid vitamins during Corid because it inhibits the thiamine (B1) in Coccidia oocysts. I have always been confused by this. Do you have any info on this? Most of us tell people to give vitamins right after treatment. Pretty birds by the way.

I really doubt giving them the vitamins during the treatment would lessen the treatment. The Treatment stops the protozoa from using B1. Medicated feed has extra B1 in it and it works in most cases.

They really should get B1 ASAP, so I would give them B1 during the 1/2 dose second treatment.

If you do not give them the second 5 to 7 day treatment, they will likely be sick again it 2 or 3 weeks.

Corid(amprolium)works by blocking thiamine from the body. Parasite needs thiamine(B1)to reproduce,by blocking the thiamine and starving the parasite reproduction stops and parasite is under control,allowing the body to build immunity to the specific strain it was. If you give vitamins during treatment,you are counteracting the medication. Medicated feed does not have enough Amprolium in it to help with an overload/outbreak,therefore the vitamins added to medicated feed are not an issue.

What about feed that has B1 in it? Should we look for a different feed when treating them?
