Good morning friends. I need insight from those who have dealt with coccidiosis treatment. Recently my flock experienced coccidia. I know this because I noticed blood (not stomach lining shed) but blood in the droppings. I believe the culprit may have came from accumulated water on a perching spot, otherwise, they have well maintained drinking water. So, as I have so many questions regarding the aftermath of this beast, I'm especially needing urgent response because I've had several die and I have a highly loved creamed legbar that is not improving.
The creamed legbar has received a little more care under the veterinarian because she is THE FAMILY PET. I went to him explaining she has gurgling and coughing and on top of that everyone has coccidia. He gave her an injection of antibiotics (for the suspected respiratory problem). A one time deal, shot in the breast. He also sent home a dewormer for the flock. That medicine was panacur and albon.
Since her trip to the vet she improved! But, after I administered the dewormer for 5 days she went down hill! Let me say, before I gave the flock the vet prescribed dewormer I had everyone on a corid treatment. So her disposition now is lethargy, she has runny watery poop with dark green hard spots in it. I provided a poo pic that shows just a milky look.
Currently she is in the house doing her thing
I have her under close watch, she's staying warm. I'm giving her 1cc of poultry cell via syringe daily, she's eating plain Greek yogurt with cucumbers to help her gut.
What's going on here? Has she had just so much medication her gut is tore up?!?! She's also adjusting her crop a good bit. There's no way she could still have parasites. Does it just take a while for healing after coccidia does its damage. Also, does coccidia cause the gurgling and coughing, or do worms do that? Perhaps there was not a respiratory problem at all or they had both coccidia and a respiratory issue at the same time. Again, I've got to get this figured out, I can not lose my Pearl girl! Thanks
