extremely sick chickens please help

[skjoller97]

Have you given them the sulmet

 

[GarnerZoo]

I have not, the feed store opens late in the day. On the poop test, how much will I need? I'm afraid I'm not going to get enough of the sick chicken poop, most is on her feathers and the one from the 'healthy' chicken is so small when I tried to collect it I got basically nothing

 

[skjoller97]

I don't know but have you given her other antibiotics? If she's eating and drinking that a really good sign

The only medicine I have been giving is for cocci, I've not got anything else yet. I'll be able to goto the feed store In an hour ish.

Have you given them the sulmet

I don't think so..is there a type I should get them? I've Been treating for the second time within a few days for cocci, not using corid but Sulfadimethoxine, should I stop using that? Thanks for the help..

No reason to give Sulmet if you already have Sulfadimethoxine.

I know eating is a good sign but it also worries me because the chicken I found dead this morning ate a lot yesterday as well

That's good to know, thanks for telling me that was going to get some. I won't now though

Both are antibiotic sulfa drugs that treat some bacteria and some strains of coccidia, but I believe that the Sulfadimethoxine is more effective, though not sure why.

Getting poop to the vet is what you really need to do.
