7 dead- help!!

That sounds great.  Once the corid is finished, I'd get them on some medicated feed.  Just to ensure that everything is truly gone.

Thanks, will do for sure. I feel so bad, just one bird left :-/ I'm worried About her being all alone :-(

Ok so tests back and all negative, no parasites or eggs... Does that mean no coccidiosis? If so should I stop treatment? The bird appears to be on the upswing but not out of the woods yet... They told us basically bring her in if she doesn't seem better in a few days. Thoughts?

Not necessarily. Humans are not infallible. I've seen plenty of posts on here where a fecal exam was clear and someone actually found worms the same/next day. It's not going to hurt to continue treatment, it might if you stop. I'm still betting it is Coccidiosis to be honest, just entirely too textbook and I went through this myself not all that long ago.

Thank you, they said as long as she's getting better, we didn't stop her meds, she has 2 more doses I want to give her, I just ran out of the stuff I'm going to put her on if this works so I need to run to the store this afternoon and just stick with my plan. She's really perked up. The others were all floppy then died and the other two literally just went from Fine to dead in 2 days and she was really out of it, wasn't making eye contact or moving around much or anything... But now she's digging and peeping and walking around like she's starting to feel better and her tail looks less smushed down so I really think she might pull through. Probably just one of the few 'samples' that were clean? Probably. And none of the other birds are sick still.

I'm glad she's doing better. It is amazing how quickly they recover from such a serious issue.
