Do not give that baby any more tetracycline...it won't do any good, for one, and for another can cause bone & tooth growth issues. Young kids should only get antibiotics from the penicillin family unless vet prescribed.
CoRid is fine if dosed properly. (ie NOT following the label dose - Goatmasta posted the proper dose)

For Cocci you can use Albon, Di-Methox or CoRid.
On the Tetracycline...it is VERY IMPORTANT when giving antibiotics that you give the CORRECT DOSE and USE FOR THE FULL TIME or you are breeding antibiotic resistant bacteria and not helping your animal.

That Corid is 10oz bag of powder...
The Instructions are for 125 gallons!
I'm going crazy here and already have headache from trying to calculate how much of this powder should I put to let's say 1 quart of water?
I mean how much 1 baby can drink? And I don't want to waste the whole bag...
Any good mathematician here? I always hated math
Help please?

1 gallon = 4 quarts so... 0.02 oz to a quart of water
eta: I don't normally use CoRid...I think those instructions are probably for prevention and not treatment...treatment may be a higher percentage?

Thank you Herd Master!
I have this "Postal Scale", but the minimum it takes is 0.2 oz
So, when I placed on the scale 1 tea spoon of powder, it was 0.2 oz.
That means I have to divide this 1 tea spoon into 10 parts?
And take 1/10 of that tea spoon into 1 Quart of water.
Is that correct?

0.02 Ounces = 0.12 Teaspoons = approx 1/8 tspMzyla said:
If you have a measuring set you should have an 1/8 tsp...
But this seems too diluted to me...like I said I don't use CoRid...
Oh, and Herd Master is just a "label" you're given when you have so many posts

Give me a few minutes to do some checking and math
there is a calculator on the corid website http://www.corid.com/calculator.html
it is formulated for cattle. In the goat world apparently we use about 5 times the dosage... the dosage I gave you was for the 9.6% oral solution..
