my chicken might have cocci disease

[texasrangers1]

my chicken is acting really weird she isn't really walking any she is barely drinking and she has some of the symptoms of cocci disease. I have seperated her from the others and she seems to be doing a little better but hers eyes are closed some of the time.
when she walks she seems real sluggish and not very alert.

This kills very rapidly. You need to get sulmet or corrid and start treating tomorrow.

How old is she? Coccidiosis affects mostly younger birds, but can also be a problem sometimes with older chickens, especially if a new bird is brought in or a new strain gets introduced. Corid is the best treatment since it gets all 9 or so strains, but sulfadimethoxine or Sulmet will treat the worst 2 strains. Symptoms are sleepiness, standing puffed up, or hunching, diarrhea sometimes with blood, ruffled feathers, and not eating. If you think that's it don't delay in starting the Corid in the water.
