Hello everyone. To begin with, I appreciate in advance any help you can give me…So the vet just confirmed through stool sample that my dog has Eimeria, which he stated can be contacted through chicken feces. We have five chickens and only one is laying. They are 2 1/2 years old. The one that is laying has a red comb, the others are quite pale, but they seem to be eating and seem totally fine (they love treats!). I haven’t had any other than that one give an egg since last winter. They all seem healthy, free range for a few hours a day (we have a lot of hawks so I need to stay out with them). Their coop is cleaned daily. We live in N.Y. It’s starting to get chilly now, so this week we will “plastic” the outside part of the coop.
I give them pellets in their feeder with a little chopped corn, oyster shell, vitamin water, garlic and oregano in their morning kale. This week I also began putting ACV in their water. To make sure they’re all drinking it, I sprinkle mealworms in their water, so they have to drink the ACV too as they dive for the mealworms.
My question is, it’s obvious that by the pale combs, no eggs, and my dog’s diagnosis, that they have this parasite. Anyone know how I heal them or should I take them to the vet? Thank you
