I;ve been searching the forums and internet and am getting nowhere. Does anyone have an article or website they can direct me too about the possibilities/probabilities of coccidiosis causing blindness? I have found some articles that were suggestive of this but i would like some concrete information stating either ,Yes it can and WHY? or NO-this is not possible.

My girls story was posted last week.here is link if you are interested

she's been treated but I swear she is Blind now.
She's living inside now because she fell and is now being treated for neurological issues. Could it be that with a bump on the head she is temporarily visually impaired. If it is a "temporary" impairment what chance does it have that her vision will be restored?

i'm beginning to think this Pullet is doing things to herself on purpose because she enjoys the indoor life

As always, thanks BYC'ers!!
 
No, it does not cause blindness or neurological symptoms. Cocci can be a secondary infection to many other diseases.

First one that comes to mind is mareks, which does cause neuro symptoms and can cause blindness.
