Bloody diarrhea on 3month old pullet

[ReiK]

Please help... i found yesterday my 3month old pullet having bloody diarrhea, less eating/drinking/activeness. Started yesterday mixing trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole in her waterer. We don't have Corid available in our country, also tried in our place to find amprolium but there is none. Today i gave once amoxicillin trihydrate capsule 500mg so that it will be direct inside.
Please help me i don't want to lose her as i have lost one recently due to leg problem.
She eats BMEG Integra 1000/2000.

Thank you. I have read the entire post. Sadly, we don't have "avian" -specialist vet in our country. I wish there is a vet here to determine the cause and the correct treatment..

I would not mix trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole with amoxicillin.

The trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole will soon show effect if the dosing is right. Give it for three consecutive days, stop for two days and then again three consecutive days of treatment. Prepare the solution fresh every day and see to it, that there is no other water source available.

Thank you.Will not give the amoxicillin by tomorrow anymore. (Gave it once today only). I just gave amoxicillin as i am afraid that she drinks too little. But hoping tomorrow as the third day of trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole, to see results. Hope she'll keep drinking to have the med take its effect then no more bloody diarrhea and her appetite/activity/etc goes back to normal.

And no other food than dry chick crumble or dry oatmeal to make her thirsty and thus drink more of the medicated water.

I hope she will be fine within a few days.
