I've used only Corid for 15 years, and purchased my furst bottle of Vit B about a month ago. Corid is not the bad drug everyone makes it out, and around here it is what everyone uses.

What the heck is with everything going on an indefinite back order lately?? I just sent another member some copasure capsules because they are on back order everywhere. :/

We use corid in the water source and if we use di-methox we drench the kids orally, at the rate of 1cc per 10lbs for 5 days,

I beleive the recommended dose on here for scouring kid is 1cc per 5 lbs the first day and then 1cc per 10 lbs the remaining days of the treatment.

We use Corid at the rate of 2 oz per 5 gallons drinking water, for the first couple of days then I cut back to 1 oz per 5gallons for the remainder of the treatment for a total of 5 to 7 days. If I have a couple kids that are looking like that aren't growing the best, I will also give them 3cc orally, during the treatment cycle of putting it in the water.

If there is too much green pasture, which there is right now, I switch to sulfa-dimeth and under go the daunting task of treating each kid by hand for 5 days.

Hmmmm:
I havn't been having the same problems you all have been having, I ordered copasure not that long ago, got a 2nd bottle of vitamin B from the feed store, saw corid and sulfa-dimethoxine in the feed store on Saturday, the sulfa was way cheaper and we are talking about not using the corid and switching to the sulfa to save money. 100 per gallon for Corid and if I remember correctly 36 per gallon for sulfa-,

Do not supplement with B complex or Thiamine when using CoRid!

If you do, you're completely nullifying the whole action of the CoRid, which inhibits Thiamine in order to kill the protozoan.

I've used CoRid for several years as a part of my cocci treatment protocol at VERY high doses and it has never led to polio.

You can purchase the DiMethox powder and mix it with 1 1/2 cups of water to substitute the 40% solution until it becomes available again.

:thumbsup

You should keep the DiMethox solution made w/ the powder in the fridge to keep it fresh longer.
If you only have a few goats, you can mix half the powder w/ 3/4 c water and stick the rest of the powder in the freezer for future use.
