Did they give you results?

The bottom poo isn't normal looking, it looks like a worm in that one when i make the picture bigger. Not sure about the top one.

I'm again frustrated. The fecal exam came back negative for any parasites or worms, but they said since they shed at different intervals, it would take 4 tests to declare her parasite free. The tests are $30 dollars a pop, and I just don't have that kind of money. There is def blood in her stools I'll see if I can get a pic of one of those. I'm even trying the Tylan (doing it orally instead of injecting) and tomorrow is her last does and it isn't helping at all. I hate this. She has the healthiest diet of any chicken I know!

She's getting anemic too, I can tell by her comb.

I think I have to try the dewormer.

If she still has blood in the poo, it would be a lot cheaper to just go ahead and re-start the Corid since you didn't get a full treatment in, and worm her. Can you post a pic of the bloody poo?

My sincere apologies!!!  It was Amprolium, not Corid, but the Amprol brand.

Corid and Amprol are the same.

Tylan is used mostly for gram positive upper respiratory infections, so you might want to try something like Baytril instead.

X2. I would re-treat with Corid or Amprol with the .024% amount which is 1.5 teaspoons powder or 2 teaspoons liquid per gallon. On top of that you could de-worm with Fenbendazole (Safeguard).

FYI, your vet could check the poop sample for bacteria and/or yeast, too. Ask them about doing that.
