Chick is dying?

[andreanar]

corid has the same ingredient and is widely available. I bought mine at TSC

Coxoid contains 3.84% of the drug amprolium hydrochloride which is a structural analogue of thiamine (vitamin B1). Amprolium hydrochloride mimicks it’s structure, inhibiting thiamine utilisation by the parasite.

I'm saying Coxoid because I'm pretty sure she is in the UK, and that's their brand name there.

Thanks!

I hope she can buy it. It sounds like it is from a vet only so will be expensive

I think she's passed. I can't see any lice or mites on her or her brood mate, there's no poop in the water. I clean everything after each batch of chicks. I tried googling, the only thing coming up is mareks

Sounds like the chick was having seizures, did she drink an excesive amount of water and was there electrolytes in the water?

No electrolytes, just fresh water and a bit of ACV. Never seen her drink much that day, everything was going as normal

Yep from the U.K but can't find anywhere that sells Coxoid, hopefully the vet might know where I can purchase it

My vet ordered some Coxoid but can't treat or look at the chicks herself as the other vet isn't there and this isn't an emergency... it'll be here by Monday. Does anyone have any tips to what I can do in the mean time?? All would be appreciated

Oregano can be helpful in controlling an outbreak of coccidiosis. I'd also get a thermometer under that heat lamp to measure exactly how warm it is under there. It might not be putting out enough heat for them.

Okay thank you. I just put the thermometer under, I do have it quite warm because I have younger chicks in with them and the older ones already started perching away from the lamp, lamp stays on all the time for them to come and go as they please
