Accepting what might be and pushing forward.....need advice on multiple concerns.

Cocci is actual a bacteria.
Coccidia/coccidiosis is not.


Chickens can get both and they are very different things.

I recall that the necropsy @Chopper923 ordered
revealed

Mycoplasma (don't recall if it was or G)
E. Coli sepsis
Salmonella
Turkey enteritis virus

Yes, there's coccobacilli (bacteria) and coccidia (protozoa). Important to know they are different and which is which. And what these birds have

Other antibiotics are not effective against bacteria.

I mean to to say other antibiotics are not effective against coccidia (the protozoa)

An addition to my other comment on antibiotic families:

Sulpha antibiotics are the only family that treats both for bacteria and coccidiosis. Coccidiosis is not caused by bacteria, but by a protozoa (different kind of organism). But supha kills both bacterias and cocci. Other antibiotics are not effective against bacteria.

If you do switch to a different antibiotic, keep that in mind.

In this case, since you have both bacteria and coccidiosis present, it might be wise to repeat the sulfa treatment in 10 days to break the coccidiosis cycle and keep getting the bacteria count down.

This instead of Corid?

Oh, I had no idea!! I will have to go thru my notes....thank you for pointing that out!

From final report (copied things I thought were helpful...please let me know if there's anything else I should be looking for on the report that might help)
DIAGNOSIS:
* Necrotizing and hemorrhagic intestinal coccidiosis & clostridial enteritis
* Mycoplasma gallisepticum & synoviae PCR-positive
* Escherichia coli bacteremia, presumed
* Intestinal Salmonella Mbandaka
OTHER:
Other points previously discussed but worth mentioning again, include:
* Lesions typical for Marek's disease (an alphaherpesviral infection/disease) are not observed
grossly or histologically in this pullet's tissues.
* Turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus is not a health risk to humans and is presumed to be an
incidental infection lacking clinical significance in this pullet.

Is that the only thing the lab told you they found?

I have not read the entire thread.

I posted the findings #158. Thank you for asking!

I think I answered my question...i should use the Tri-Sulfa because of dealing with both issues.
