Advice Please! Hen has shed intestinal lining for the last 3 days. Possible coccidiosis? Should I treat her?

Dammit, I’m in California, I can’t have corid shipped to me.

That’s not true…

Went to a feed store today, guy working there said something about that they couldn’t carry stuff like corid anymore due to some regulation and that a vet is needed. Another guy said that they used to carry corid but not anymore. I checked on Tractor supply and Walmart, it said that the corid couldn’t be shipped to California residents. I might be misunderstanding the situation, feel free to correct me. I didn’t do any research on this since this is the first time I’ve heard of this.

I'm randomly searching CA TSC's and it's not giving me anything. Appears you are correct or I'm searching wrong.

@casportpony any ideas how to get Corid in California?

wait really? I'm from California, I never heard of a rule like that? Maybe go on eBay if you can't find it anywhere else?

Look on your local TSC website and see if it's available. I tried a couple of random stores in CA and it wasn't available at all. Could be some counties you may be able to get it, I don't know.

Do you have any medicated chick feed available in a feed store? Maybe the Amprolium in the feed would help?

@Wyorp Rock @azygous @Eggcessive

The amount of Amprolium in chick starter is minute, so I would not consider it an effective treatment.

It may be worth visiting the store if it's close by. I just checked my own local store and the wording is the same - not available/can't be shipped, etc. Could be a TSC website glitch? Sometimes things in stores aren't always shown online.
Not knocking folks that work in the stores, but often they aren't that familiar with the products they have or what they are used for. Just sayin'...

Look in the cattle section for one of these:

For a 4 year old hen, I would be more concerned about worms causing shed intestinal lining, particularly capillary worms.
I would worm her with Valbazen or Safeguard liquid goat wormer.

 

[Thechickenaddict]

The corid is coming in a few days and I’m looking for some safeguard too. What can I do for my hen in the next few days?Today she is still perky but I don’t know how long that behavior is going to last. Anything I should give her?

Just keep her nutrition up so her body can survive these pests. I like Poultry Nutri-drench for cases like this.
