X2. If you can't find it at a feedstore, try to find someone that raises cattle, they might have some.Yes I would treat with the medication if she were mine.I hope this helps and hope you can find it! Your feed lot should carry amprol. I wish you the best of luck!
Probably not... you could also try a sulfa antibiotic, human for would be fine. Know any horse people? Horse people often have SMZ tablets, you could try that, too.I hope she can last until Monday, the feed stores will be open then. Until then, all I have is a small amount of medicated chick starter. Would that even help?
When it happen with my turkey, I saw those poops a couple of times a day, usually in the morning.I just read about a milk flush that can help, with yogurt. I might try that until Monday.
How often do chickens Cecal poo? Its been 12 hours since I saw the blood.
I think that SMZ (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is safer than Sulmet (sulfamethazine sodium), but I'm not sure.Some of the sulfa drugs are rougher on their guts than others.
Amazon sells Corid as well. Any chance you can get into their Corid online?
Give them buttermilk if you can, or add powdered milk to their feed, to slow down the effects of the cocci until you get some amprolium. Here is a thread about another "stopgap" home remedy
