emergency chick with Coccidiosis. Help

[Raven81]

well the vet said its not coccidiosis she looked at the poop samples & didnt see any eggs or anything so she has put them all on oxitetracycling ( cant spell ) for the next 5 days. so hopefully they improve

 

[PunkinPeep]

I hope they do well.

 

[Raven81]

well they have lived throu the nite. but appear to be slightly worse today.

 

[PunkinPeep]

Oh dear. If they make it 'til tomorrow, are you able to try to get the Amprolium, or do you have to have the vet's approval?

 

[Raven81]

it has to be ordered from out of town. she cant order it till tomorrow, they have stopped pooing blood thou so i guess thats a good sign.

 

[PunkinPeep]

Yes, that is a good sign. I don't know what that drug is that she gave them, but maybe it's working. That would be great!
