I use the CORID powder from TSC and like the results. Let me look in my messages and I will tell you the mixing ratio using volume instead of weight like the package says.

1 ounce is about 6 teaspoons.

The package says 3 oz (18 teaspoons) for 32 OZ (1 quart). You're not going to use that much for one kid. It only stores for three days.

Mix 6 teaspoons in 11 OZ of water. It will still be a little much and you'll have to throw some away.

Give at 1cc per 10 lbs.

So for my 60 lb bucks, all they need is 6 cc of that mixture, once a day, for five days in a row? It seems like barely anything

Yes 6 cc should do it. I usually do a little more because they tend to drool a little out of their mouths. I have never done this, but some people do it two times a day the first two days. You won't see much of a difference until day 3 or 4. But by day 5 they are cleared up. You may want to make sure your buck isn't dehydrated. The first two days I gave a doe the CORID, I have her some bounce back as well.

Yes, thanks. Since they've only been off the bottle for about 20 days, they were still willing to take a bottle even though it was a bottle of water mixed with electrolytes. So I'll be doing that to keep them hydrated.

are you sure you calculations are correct on the teaspoons, I have 3 ounces is 10.5 Tablespoons. Isn't there like 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon? I am going to go back and check my calculations as well. but I have in my notes 5.25 tablespoons per 16 ounces of water and give 15 cc per 100 lbs one time a day, but I always give it twice the first day. then one time days 2 through 5.

I will recheck my numbers.
