Extremely ill guinea hen. Very skinny and lethargic. HELP!

I'm sorry for your loss.

I recommend that get a necropsy through your state lab to confirm that Coccidiosis was the cause of their decline.
An established adult bird should have quite a bit of resistance to the Coccidia found in their environment unless an underlying condition or other factors come into play.
For you to lose 2, that's a great concern.
You can find your State Lab Here. Wrap the bodies in plastic and keep them cool/refrigerated until you can get them tested.

It's very wet and muddy here. Lots of humidity and ongoing heat. I wish that I had checked my phone before going to bed.
They were put in the garbage last night. I would have buried them, but my parents didn't want me to dig a hole in 117 degrees weather.
If another gets sick and dies (God Forbid) I will send it in. But first, they are going to the vet.
I'm just so devastated. I couldn't fall asleep last night. I was just crying.

I'm so sorry, I'm heartbroken for you 💔 it's so hard to lose a beloved pet, let alone two in one day. I hope the corid will work. If you have any exhibiting symptoms and they're female I would dose with calcium citrate. I lost a guinea hen to a lack of calcium, she was the runt of the hatch, so there may have been something else wrong with her... But they didn't eat the oyster shell I put out, just scattered it everywhere. I had to switch to layer feed with all flock mixed in.

I put oyster shells in their food. As far as I know, they eat it. I just wish that I could have gotten Corrid sooner. I've not seen their brother since last night. Frost was still alive. I have no idea how he is going to do if he ever figures out that they are never coming back.
I remember the day that I was so hally when I saw Frost making the female noise. I gave their two sisters away. I kept the two of them because I loved them so much 😭
 
Thank you. I didn't see this until now, and I hate to say it, but it's too late.

I figured out that is WAS in fact coccidiosis. I thought that it was only bloody poop. Nope. Yellow foamy poop too. I also saw a tiny of blood.

I ran to TSC to get Corrid. When I got back, Eclipse was dead. She's the second one who got sick. She declined very quickly.

I gave Frost some corrid, but a dew hours later, I noted the her head was lolled. She was alive, so I picked her up and was giving her hugs and talking to her. She started having death spasms and died in my arms.

I had NO idea that it was coccidiosis. Thank you @SmiYa0126 for suggesting that ❤ I would have never considered that if it weren't for you.

I am treating my other guineas who were in the pen with them, their parents, and my chickens with Corrid.

I am devastated. I lost TWO of my beloved birds in one day. Frost was especially special. I'm going to miss them. Thank you all for trying to help ❤❤
I am so sorry Pastel!!! I feel so horrible that they passed away. They were so special! I know how you feel, my rooster passed away just a couple of days ago from dehydration and he passed away with me the same way. I wish I could have done something more for him. I am praying for you, Frost, and Eclipse!

Thank you, and I'm super sorry about your rooster. :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
 
I have frozen watermelon? Will that work? I'm not sure if she likes it. I'll try to give some to her.
You can let the watermelon thaw so it's easier for her to eat

Also, I just realized that you lost two birds. I'm so so sorry for your lose, I hate loosing birds. It feels like loosing a dog or a cat. Again I wish I could have seen this sooner and have been able to help :(
