Green poop??

That dropping could be a bit mucousy. It's hard to tell on shavings. If she is still lethargic, not eating or drinking well, then I would go ahead and treat with Corid.

Ok she drinks and is very active but it’s just so hard to get her to eat. She is very picky And what are the measurements. I have the powder

How much should a 9 week old Cochin weigh. She weighs 1.64 pounds right now.

20% Powder dose is 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of water for 5-7 days.

Ok we are sending her in for a check up with a Fecal this week

Sounds like a very good idea. Let us know what they say.

She has coccidiosis and we are going in Tommorow to the vet to get Ponazuril. I have the powder corid. I have 2 that we’re on medicated feed now are off cause they were fed that at the hatchery. Do I corid them too? Happy ( sick) bird is always alone.

If she has not been with the other birds and they are acting fine, droppings normal, then you don't need to treat them. If they were together when she got sick, then you can either treat them all, or just watch the other two for any signs of illness and start treatment for them if you see any symptoms.

Is it a treatable illness? She is very active just not hungry. I love this bird. Have you heard of that medicine before? Could I do a preventative treatment?

 

[coach723]

Ponazuril is toltrazuril, which is used for coccdiosis sometimes. If the vet is recommending that then you may have a strain that is less sensitive to Corid, and I would go with the vet's recommendation. Sometimes when people treat with Corid and don't get the expected improvement, then they switch to toltrazuril or to a sulfa antibiotic.
