Help! Can I mix Corid with Tiagard (Denagard)

[Whit91]

My chickens have had off on and respiratory symptoms the last week and a half. Then all the sudden I found lots of bloody stool and one chicken passed. A couple other off hiding and lethargic and sleepy so I started Corid in water. Now the respiratory symptoms have gotten much worse. All I could get my hands on is tiagard(denagard) can I mix the 2 meds in the same water? I have had conflicting opinions. They are wheezing and sneezing and making a crackling sound when they breathe!

@azygous I think you can but let's ask the Educators to be sure. Sorry you are dealing with this!

I do not recommend mixing any medications together. TiaGard or Denagard taste bad, and may need to be sweetened to be made more palatable. The chicken ps also may not drink as much because of the taste. With Corid that needs to be the only source of water so they will drink enough to get the correct dose.

Give the TiaGard orally to only the one(s) showing respiratory symptoms. Here in post 7 of this thread casportpony has given an oral dose of 0.09 ml per pound:

Never ever use denagard and any anticoccidial medication together including medicated food. It will make them bleed out internally and kill them.
