    Coccidiosis diagnosis...with respiratory infection?

    She should have something to eat, birds have high metabolism and need to eat, even with a slow crop.

    How are you mixing the Corid? Corid powder dosage is 1 1/2 teaspoonsful per gallon of water, while Corid liquid dosage is 2 teaspoonsful per gallon of water, for 5 days. As for the Duramycin, are you mixing it in the drinking water? Its 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.
