Cochins passing pure blood - Cocci Kills

[casportpony]

Dosage is too low. Give them a couple of drops of straight liquid corid on the beak twice a day in addition to the stronger corid water

They can have at least one drop per 100 grams. Something that size I would probably give 1/4 to 1/2 ml.

Hey I was just about to tell her how much I loved her!

Aw shucks you guys! Y'all are making me blush! But really though I'm growing pretty fond of you gals too! Thank y'all!

Looks like coccidiosis to me...

Problem is they can suddenly die from too much blood loss... even though they "look fine".

If the rest of the flock isn't even with them... I would not be treating. If they are all together treat everyone with the higher dose and yes starting over. However it works by depriving the coccidia of thiamine, so I would NOT dose with vitamins at the same time.


How long have you had them? Coccidia are in every chicken poo. coccidiosis happens when they ingest too many sporulated ocysts ( microscopic eggs).
Hope you see quick recovery!

I've had them 17 days

Did you give this girl the drench straight to the beak last night and again thing this morning?

Yes and No. I had a drivers test early this morning then off to Egg Man's.
Both are getting drenched in about 10 Min. The male has attitude, it will take some work.

Bad development. Both are now standing like your typical cocci infested chicken. Chest up, tail down, head drawn in.

No!!! Hopefully the nutridrench will help. I'm watching with prayers going up and fingers crossed that they'll pull through this!

I am really sorry. Get the Corid Drench into them ASAP. Hopefully it isn't too late.

When coccidiosis hit hard enough to cause that much blood they most likely have/had it for a while. The whole time they have it is easting away at their insides, basically, and depriving them of being able to absorb the proper nutrition from their feed.

It they aren't feeling well, they aren't drinking much water which means they aren't getting enough Corid into their system to fight the coccidiosis.


Are you prepared to start tubing feeding them?

 

[casportpony]

I was just going to suggest tubing fluids. Is there cage warm? Even though they are fully feathered keeping them in a cage that is 80-85 degrees would be best.

They are in the barn. It is certainly that warm.

I just gave them each .5 mL of straight Corid.
I have seen the Cockerel drinking. I syringe fed the pullet 3mL of Corid water.

I have 6 3mL syringes on hand bought specifically for tube feeding. What I don't have is a tube. What can use for a tube if the need arises?

I am fully prepared to tube feed if I have to. Just need a tube.

I am also aware that I may lose them tonight.
