Endocox and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole at the same time?

[Chickolita]

Is using Endocox while using

trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole overkill? Or will it be fine? Also, the ​

trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole doesn’t fully dilute into the water, as I can see the little specs on the bottom. So I have to constantly mix it. Is that okay? If I put the solution into their waterer, how am I sure that they’re getting the meds if its on the bottom of their waterer and not diluted?​

Yes, it's overkill. Endocox should take care of your coccidiosis problem. Follow the instructions.
Use the SMZ-TMP only as a last resort. IF it's tablet, it should be quartered according to weight and given orally, not mixed in water. For example, a 5 pound bird would be given 1/4 tablet orally. Depending on the size of the tablets, you may have to cut the one quarter piece in half in order to administer it orally so the bird can swallow it..

I have alrdy been giving them trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. How long do I have to wait to clear their system so that I can switch to Endocox? And I have it in powder form, not tablet. I was told 2.5 grams/Gallon water.

Endocox is Toltrazuril. Here's a link for you to read. Scroll down to "HOW IT WORKS."
Then go to the second paragraph and read the first and second sentences.

I've never used Toltrazuril. However, I've used SMZ-TMP in my birds. After reading the above link, I personally would use the Toltrazuril.
