Need help identifying what happened to my feed

[mama23]

That is pretty low for a starter.

I thought so too. I was mistaken. Someone on here said it was 18% and that its the layer that's 16%.

I will add I have noticed organic feed doesn't move well at the store and I am concerned about it sitting longer.

I've noticed that too, some of the organic feeds sit on the shelf for six months or more, which is way too long, IMO.

Throw the feed out.
Purchase new food.
Get an aluminum trash can with a air tight lid.
Or a large tote and keep it inside the garage or house.

ah okay, that's what I'm used to seeing, 16% for layer, 18-22% for starters.

I have a video of him walking odd but it won't let me upload.

For video upload to youtube, then provide us a link. The BYC link upload does not work at all.

He is loaded with coccidia. Texas kiki my apologies. You were right about the oregano. I don't understand one thing. Why did his cecal stools look totally normal?! I suspect he never got over it. The vet said he's no doubt anemic with this load of coccidia and that the yellow urates are from the anemia. I feel so lost right now. I went through three rounds of corid and here we go again. It works great while he's on it but then it comes back. Is there any other option out there? Clearly I am going to start corid since that is what I have and this needs to be started asap. Please help me again with dosages and bolus dosing. This is awful news but at least I have answers.

The type of coccidia is e tenella

Will your vet sell you some Baycox, or a sulfa drug? Amprolium (corid) does not treat all strains of coccidiosis.

How much does he weigh and do you have Corid powder or Corid liquid?

 

[mama23]

I have corid liquid. He mentioned he has something that starts with a P. He's going to call me back in a bit to find out about medication. I'll get that name from him. It's for cattle I think.

I do have Albon at home as well but its sulfa. I have a hen a few years old with liver impairment. I have to be careful with sulfa drugs since I'll be treating them all. Is baycox a sulfa?

He weighs about 4. Could this explain his staggering?
