I'm not positvie, but I think Coxoid is the brand name for amprollium in the UK. Also Flubenvet is the usual broad sprectrum wormer that is most prescribed--pretty much equal to albendazole or fenbendazole. I believe Denaguard is used mostly for respiratory diseases. It is supposed to be very good, especially for antibiotic resistant MG.

Corid and amprollium are basically the same thing. They are a thiamine blocker. Coccidia cannot grow in the absence of thiamine. Do not use vitamins when treating with corid or amprollium.

Corid is amprolium, which is used to treat coccidiosis, but I'm not sure what name it's sold under in the UK. Can you post a picture of her poop?

I believe it is called Coxoid(3.84% amprolium) and is available in either 112 ml or 500 ml. Dosage info that i could find is 1 fluid oz (approx 6 tsp)per gallon of water or (6.22 ml per litre).

Ok so the wormer she has had is flubendet which is the only uk lisenced feed wormer for chickens. It kills the worms and the eggs. My dad has just called and said she has been eating lots today and seems a little more steady on her feet. Her poo is now a brown and runny rather than white runny and is getting a bit more solid. He is going to take a picture next time she does it. She has got 5 days of anti biotics so I think we are going to keep them going and re asses it after the 5 days are up.

Antibiotics will cause an upset in the gut bacteria, so buttermilk or plain yogurt will help with probiotics to get the good bacteria back to normal. Flubenvet is an excellent wormer.

I was just reading a link, and tiamulin or Denagard actually does treat coccidiosis. too.

See we can learn something new every day.

That's brilliant news. I have suggested a bit of natural yogurt to my dad. She is indoors still with my mum and dad. How long does it generally take for the anti biotics to start to work and show signs of improvement?

Thanks so much everyone for your help. Hopefully little Elsie will get through this as she's so lovely. Everything crossed.

Interesting, but makes sense since some sulfa drugs are used to treat it, too. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Denaguard is a sulfa drug, just saying that if one antibiotic can be used there are probably others that will work.
