Baby chick so sick! Having seizures help!

[TheOddOneOut]

Oh I found it but it's kinda expensive it's higher than that when they add the transportation charges and fees but I'll still try to ask in the veternity pharmacy tomorrow if there is an alternative for it

It says ‘for CALVES’.
Hmm...I doubt its the right thing, being for cattle and all.

No any farm will be in another city that's far to the south (that were farms are) and we live in the capital so all the cities next to us don't really..

If you are in Cairo, they have a huge pigeon keeping community. Coccidiosis is actually very common in pigeons too and the treatment is the same. I'm in UK and I'm using a pigeon treatment for coccidiosis right now on all my chicks because of this same problem you're having.

Find Pigeon keepers or ask the vet for coccidiosis medication used for pigeons. This is what the bottle I'm using looks like. Vet should be able to give you the version they use there.

Good luck

Is it the same dosage as chickens and so? I think I can find it! Tysm will buy it first thing tomorrow

someone early in this thread linked to another thread showing the right dosage for chickens

Yes should be same but follow the instructions on the one you find as it depends on the strength of the solution you're getting. Again speak to any pigeon keepers. There are some in every street in Cairo It's the quickest way to getting the medication.

Genius. This is why I love this forum.

@ILoveBabyChicks00994 You could give some Apple Cider Vinegar to your sick chick. Put it in water. I think it's one tablespoon of Apple cider Vinegar in one quart of water? I could be wrong about the ratio. Apple Cider Vinegar is supposed to help with coccidiosis, from my understanding.

Ah. Well, never mind!

I asked about it in many vets pharmacy today but the vet game me an alternative. It says on it that it treats all types of intestinal disease, but is it ok to give them electrolytes with it ? Electrolytes help alot with the seizure episodes if not what else can I give them during a seizure (HOPEFULLY IT WILL STOP)
