Bloody Poo ?

[LozzieGP]

Hi, i'm starting to panic a little about one of my girls as she did a bloody poo this morning.

I don't think she's done any like this before today as i would have spotted it outside when cleaning up.

She had diarrhoea a few weeks back and lost some weight but we nursed her back and she's been pooping normally and eating normally since, and has put the weight back on.

Her tail since the diarrhoea has not been as erect, her comb is still erect and quite pink but not quite as red as my others.

They have been wormed,and their poo was tested for cocci at the time and they were totally clear, so I'm very confident it's not that. See attached photo, it seemed to be actual blood.
Oh, and she's not laid any eggs since the diarrhoea incident.

I hope someone can help.

Anyone? :/

If she were mine I would treat for Cocci.

Dosage for Cocci is 1 1/2 teaspoons Corid powder per gallon or 2 teaspoons of 9.6% Corid liquid per gallon
Give for 5-7 days - make sure this is the ONLY water available during that time period. Mix a fresh batch at least once a day.

Talk to your vet about false negative fecals, cause that looks like coccidia or worm poop to me.
