Please help!! I've had 5 chicks die in 12 hours

I'm already using baycox/toltrazuril which is a coccidiostat. Should I use both? That's what the vet recommended because it's fast acting and kills coccidia

How are you giving it? Do you have the 2.5% or the 5%?

Yeah, it sounds worse then Coccidiosis. I don't usually start seeing Coccidiosis until chicks reach 3½ - 4 weeks old.

Where does it come from? I don't understand how no other chicks have been sick. No adults are sick. But these hatchlings are. Once they're weak.. I can't do anything regardless of how hard I try.

I'll find a link that'll explain it.

5% and I'm giving 1.5mL per liter i

Thank you. Am I going to lose all the chicks in that brooder?

Here's a link. Depending on the strain it affects chicks younger than 3 weeks.

Survival rate is low.

If it is IBV, there is no treatment.

If they were mine I would:

• get them in a warm brooder, 80-85 degrees is ideal.
• give warmed fluids orally via a tube. Give 2-3 ml per 100 grams of body weight
• give toltrazuril orally at 20 mg/kg
• give corid orally at 20 mg/kg twice a day

Do you have a scale you can weigh them on?

I would give it orally. Give 0.04 ml per 100 grams of body weight.

Any amprolium powder *or* liquid can be used.

I deleted this thread doesn't it seem to extreme to be cocidous? Or is it a another form of it?

From dirty moist environment with heat which grow bactira . But yours seems to extreme to be. I do not think its cocidous. But treat it with corid v powder in-case its another form of it.
