newbie with a question about cocci

[kiradoula]

Hi, I have read the forum for a while, but this is my first post, so bear with me. From what I've read so far I'm pretty sure I have a girl with cocci. My other two seem to be doing just fine, but puff ball shows all the signs. I live in Tucson, and while we have many feed stores, none of them seem to carry amprolium, sulmel or even medicated feed. I got some tetracycline this morning and put it in their water this morning before I had figured out it was cocci..
THANK YOU.

Frist,

, and tehn second, your gonna need amprolium for cocci. Since I am not in the states, I can't tell you what stores sell what, but you relly need to get cocci specific medication. How old are your girls?

Welcome to BYC. Why do you think it's cocci? At their age, it's unlikely that it is cocci.

Green/bloody/mucosey poop. No egg production. drooling. Lethargy.

Maybe worms
Jeffers livestock carries Corid - $6 shipping and you can have it in two to three days

Good to know about Jeffers. I checked out the poop photos: http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0 and now I'm more confused. It looks like the intestinal lining one, but if that's normal, why is she so sick?

You need to get Sulmet or Corid, even if you have to order it online, that's what they really need to cure them.
