    Month old chicks dying during Cocci treatment

    Corid does not treat all types of coccidia. Were they on a preventative dose or were you treating them as if they had coccidia? It is possible that you are dealing with a strand of coccidia that is or has become resistant to Corid. I would switch to sulfadimethoxine. Have you had their poop...

    Well I'm sad to say my last silkie has died. I have sent the last two birds off for necropsy to Purdue. I am awaiting results. I am just at a loss and it makes me so sad. To my knowledge it started with coccidiosis and has gone downhill from there. I've been fighting an uphill battle. And of...
