Coccidiosis treatment and fluid resuscitation help!

[Mason Farm and Ranch]

Can you list any references to the theory that Corid does all those things? Corid works by mimicking thiamine (vitamin b1) in the coccidia organism, so we should not give extra thiamine supplements, which are in all vitamin supplements. I have never read where Corid does anything to prevent the digestion of nutrients. Now coccidiosis will definitely cause damage to the intestines, which in turn affects absorption of nutrients.

I cannot. Please read my bio.

I would give the vitamins since I just reread that you have completed 10 days of Corid. Can you give info on how old he is, and if there has ever been any illness in the flock that might be affecting him? Have you wormed him recently, and with what? My faverolles were always the lowest in pecking order, so could he have been kept from food and water by any others? Is he your only rooster? Is his crop emptying by morning? What do his poops look like?

Also his crop empties in the morning. He seems to be wasting away. I will keep crop feeding. Just wondering if I’m missing something. I ended up getting another bantam Faverolles roo. I don’t want him to die. I love this breed but I’m loosing hope

So fecal float would determine which parasite/ bacteria im dealing with so that might change the treatment plan? I tube fed twice today and this is his poop. Just posting because I finally got a picture. Can I give baycox for more than 2 days? I haven’t given any today

Diahrea, probiotics are definitely a good idea.

How is his behavior?

I’m going to have to buy that asap. It helps with coccidiosis that’s a life saver! Thanks. I’ve had birds for 6 yrs and bantams about 3 yrs. I always struggle with coccidiosis

Like I said, why it is not marketed more aggressively to us is a mystery.

Oh, it's pricey, but look into Elector PSP for mites and fleas. I bought a 20 ml bottle on ebay because I didn't want to spend $140+ on a product that didn't work. I was absolutely thrilled. I get double the benefits because it kills fleas too. My dogs have never been happier.

You just finished the 10 days of Corid? He has excessive water in his poops and he's not eating on his own.

Feel his abdomen for inflamed intestines. It will be a solid mass close to the cloaca. It may feel tubular. If nothing is there, then he probably just needs supplements and recovery time.

If there's a lump, something else could be afoot. Possibly a different parasite or an infection.

Thanks! I didn’t feel a lump. He’s still ruffled. I noticed he’s eating some on his own. I worked yesterday and planned to tube feed but he had a half full crop. So I just gave vitamins. And giving probiotics ( hydro hen) in water. Sister is doing great! She’s bouncing around and I’m debating putting her outside but I wonder if that Will effect his moral. She’s making a huge mess lol. Today is day 5 of Corid for my pair outside. And I will get that spray soon and repeat Corid in 2 weeks. But as for him, just going to try to replenish his vitamins and keep him comfortable. I could throw some baytril and tylan at him but I don’t think it’s a respiratory issue. Any thoughts or things I can throw at him? I’ve done Corid and Baycox

He's been down for a bit. He might need a bit to recover. A half full crop is a clear indication of improvement.

No more antibiotics unless you can pinpoint an issue. You might give him some Tumeric or an Aspirin. He might be sore or uncomfortable.

Thx for the tags. I’m going to keep tube feeding today. But I work the next 3 days and I’m worried

Thank you! Since I stopped Corid I gave b vitamins yesterday. What other vitamin’s should I give to help? He’s about 4 months and his poop is green and white ( not eating or drinking enough). The rest of the flock is fine. 6 days ago when I bought him and his gf in I dewormed w valbazen orally. I believe 0.2ml. He is my only rooster. And I was watching them outside and he seemed to be getting food fine. My crew is mostly under dogs . Cochin, D’Uccle, favaucana. I always struggle w coccidiosis in my bantams. Glad I got the Baycox. Can I give Baycox more than 2 day? Thx

Corid treats coccidiosis, unfortunately it can worsen the condition before it gets better. Corid can also prevent the digestive tract from absorbing nutrients. I add liquid infant vitamins and ensure that there is Selinium in their diet to assist with absorption.

A little Tumeric and/or ginger powder will reduce inflammation.

Stop the Corid.

I hope this helps.

Thank you! I stopped Corid.
