Ampromed P (20%) vs. Corid (20%)

[RozzyRoo]

One of my chicks came down with coccidiosis. The closest farm supply with medication only had Ampromed P. Since treatment is recommended asap, I purchased the package and began treatment. Thankfully the bloody stool has improved. Problem is, the next closest farm supply has Corid, not Ampromed and the one package is not going to be enough since I've only been treating them for 3 days.

Does anyone know if it is ok to start with one brand & continue with the other brand, both brands being the 20% ampolium powder?

Thanks for any input!

If both brands are the same molecule - ie: 20 amprolium - then there is no problem changing between the two, it's only the brand name that changes, not the medication.

Think of it as taking a tablet for a headache - it doesn't matter if you buy Advil, Excedrin or Motrin - they all contain the same ingredient, ibuprofen, and will all do exactly the same thing.

Thank you KayTee!

How much does she weigh? Did the vet prescribe that?

Yes vet prescribed. She was just over Two pounds. Vet said my girl had the most cysts she has ever seen in a slide. It is avian Vet too, so qualified.

One gal had one that couldn't walk for several days. Is your girl eating and drinking?

Thank you for answering. She is eating some. Her crumbles, scratch, a bite of hamburger, and some water. Not enough, but her poo is firmer
