Please help! Can I stop Sulmet and start Corid??

[myfivehens]

I discovered wed night that my chicks have coccidiosis. Thurs morning one was dead and I started Sulmet on the others because this is what was recommended to me...after doing much reading I'm seeing that Corid is highly recommended over Sulmet and that Sulmet can be hard on the chicks and may not even treat it fully. Well, I bought some powder Corid and would like to switch but not sure if I can now or not. Today is the second day on Sulmet...the label says 2 days full dose and then 4 days half dose. I'm still seeing blood and I have one chick that is pretty sleepy, I've seen her eating and drinking today but I feel like she should be doing a lot better by now. Is it safe to stop the Sulmet and start the Corid??

Well, my gut was telling me to switch so I switched. I also found an old thread on here where someone had started treating with Sulmet and after having more chicks die she decided to switch to Corid and had good results. Thanks!
