What’s the actual egg withdrawl on this item (medicox)? I’m reading mixed things……I have been having a coccidiosis night mare, think I’m at the end of it all, but I’m getting medicox to keep on hand in case they get it again, to try a different treatment…I’m on corid treatmenet now 7 days and then I’ll go seven more on preventative dose….

Then. Vitamin replacement…

Medicox is Sulfadimethoxine; excellent for treating coccidiosis especially for the two types of coccidia that cause blood in feces. It also treats ecoli infections and Coryza.
According to this site, it has a 21 day egg withdrawal period.

I have a sick hen. She had an infected foot and a little blood in her stool and diarrhea so I gave her Corid and oxytetracycline (all that I had until vet came back from vacation). Her stools immediately formed up and looked great but then I lowered the dose of Corid, per instructions and she is much worse. More blood in stool now (zoom into photo) and very loose. I upped her Corid dose back to fill strength But it doesn’t seem to be helping. Today is second day of full strength again.

Question is: I have some medicox that is out of date (6/23 exp) and it’s dried up. Could I try that? Or I can order more or Toltrazuril but now sure which is best or which I could get the fastest. Please advise. Thank you!
