Corid — normal price? And other q's

[SaltyHen]

Hi, I'm just putting together a med kit to have on hand. Some things are difficult here in Canada. I found this Corid on Amazon:

• Huvepharma Corid 20% Soluble Powder for Calves, CAD$87.70 (USD$69.37) for what looks like 280-some g (photo is blurry).

Is this a typical price, or outrageous?

Also, I'm getting conflicting info about whether Corid is something I even should worry about having on hand since I'm not planning on any chicks in my closed flock? Is coccidiosis really only a concern in chicks?

The same packet is $23.99 at Tractor Supply in the US.

I bought liquid and it was $20USD for the smaller bottle. This size packet was $24 :/

Yeah, I suspected as much. This is so common for Canadians trying to get anything. *sigh* I'll keep looking, but it may be the only option.

Which is so strange because y’all have the best human meds up there! Is it something that would be difficult/impossible to import? Since it’s not prescriptive

Its stricter regulations. Can only get it through a vet here.

If I'm not mistaken the Canadians can get Harkers Coxoid which is Amprolium but a lower strength. Not sure if it is any cheaper but something to look into.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Salty Hen....I just ordered this!!!!!
There’s like 2 bags left. I also have had so much trouble finding corid/Amprol/liquid or powder in Canada. Other than from the vet and a 4L of Amprol liquid is now between $150-170 a jug! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/303157290355

This company also carries Corid powder 10 0z bags for decent price. Again very very low stock.
Hope it helps, I keep Amprol on hand as yes...not just a chick issue, my ladies(layers) have had issues here and there with cocci and needed treatment. We live in Saskatchewan and right on the migratory bird fly way so I’m sure it’s around in nature.
