Coccidiosis Treatment Products and questions

[Crackedyolk]

I have a few chicks currently in need of coccidiosis treatment. One of my 7 week olds is barely eating and has quite bloody poops but will drink on his own, the other 7 week old isn’t showing any symptoms yet but I can see their poop is beginning to get a bit bloody. My 2 5 week olds are also having a bit of bloody poop aswell but I don’t think there’s any symptoms for them either. I’ve been unable to find amprolium where I live and I need to know if there’s any other products I can use to help them get better. And should I separate the ones that I think are sick? Or live them together. (Group of four two seem to be sick and the other group of two one seems to have it aswell)

Sulfadrugs can help for some strains of Coccidosis. Are you in Canada?

Sorry, no. I haven't dealt with anything like that myself.

Thanks, I'm not sure what to use

Hopefully by now you've been able to find some Amprolium or a sulfa drug to treat your chicks.

If not, then you should be able to order Corid, Harker's Coxoid or Coccivet through amazon. It may take a while to get to you.

Alternatively, if you have a vet that sees other pets that you have, call and ask if they can supply you with some Corid or a Sulfa antibiotic.
