I’ve had a turkey go through the same thing years ago, but this time I’ve caught it early. My young tom Nugget is showing cocci symptoms. The signature poo with yellow/neon green, he’s very tired and has no appetite. I’ve been through this before and it’s very heartbreaking. Each time I feel very confused cause I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing. He’s got food and in his water I put amprolium, he’s been on that for 1 day. Ive put some VetRX poultry aid on him that a friend gave me to see if he improves. I honestly do not have the funds to take him to a vet even though I want to. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. It’s so heartbreaking watching them suffer
Here’s a photo of Nugget a few weeks ago <3

Cocci is not coccidiosis. If it is cocci you need a different treatment since amprolium will not treat cocci but will treat coccidiosis.

Yellow feces is a sign of blackhead which is an entirely different thing.
