Bloody Poop- Coccidiosis? Urgent!

[ChattyChickens4Life]

Corid dosing:
For the 20% powder the dose is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of water, make fresh solution daily, medicated water is the ONLY water they have access to. Treat for 5 -7 days.

For the 9.6% liquid the dose is 9.5 cc (or 2 teaspoons) per gallon of water, same treatment period as above.

Also, medicated feed contains a VERY small amount of amprolium that is considered a 'preventative' dose. It will not treat an outbreak as the dose is much too small for that.
After treatment is complete, give a vitamin supplement for a bit and some probiotics to help get the gut back in balance and replace any thiamine lost during treatment. Don't supplement vitamins during treatment as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medication.

Thank you! When we visit the vet tomorrow, we will see if they have any Corid. If not, I will head to TSC. If they don't have it, AMAZON!

Actually Cocci and Coccidiosis are two different things.
Unfortunately a lot of people use cocci as a shortcut/abbreviation for Coccidiosis but it is not correct.

Coccidiosis can kill fast.
If you have a TSC near by you should start Corid treatment now.

Alright. Our nearest TSC is about 40 minutes away. I'm not able to go now, but I can see if I can get out today. If I can't get Corid now, what should I do?

Now much else you can do of it is Coccidiosis.

Ok thanks. I won't be able to get out today, but we have placed an order on Amazon, and it gets here Wednesday. Vet trip tomorrow. Should I add ACV or probiotics (Save-A-Chick) to the water?
