Can vitamins be given with Endocox for treatment of coccidiosis?

[ddboersma]

Currently treating my flock with Endocox for coccidiosis. Corid did not do the job (fecal test confirmed). Does anyone know if any kind of vitamins can be given with Endocox, unlike Corid? I have a particularly sick younger bird (8 weeks) I’m trying to bring back and the Endocox in water alone doesn’t seem to be helping. Thanks in advance!

I've never used Endocox (Baycox), however the drug information indicates it works on a different pathway than Amprolium (which inhibits B vitamin uptake in the coccidia).

"Amprolium is a thiamine analogue that competitively inhibits the active transport of thiamine, negatively affecting Eimeria species without harming the host tissues (McDougald and Reid, 1997 ▶). Whereas, toltrazuril is a broad spectrum coccidiocidal compound which is efficacious against all types of coccidiosis encountered in different avian species."

So I would think it okay to supplement with vitamins in the sick bird.

@casportpony Do you know?
