Should I start supplementing with Probiotics? Or Apple Cider Vinegar?

[StellaBeann]

I am fairly new to the chicken world.. and am experiencing some sickness with a Barred Rock we recently adopted, Pepper. Will know for sure in the morning, but appears to be Coccidiosis.. (Been extremely lethargic, sleeping/eyes closed all the time. Stopped eating completely.. Will still drink water. Bad diarrhea!) Took her to a vet today, and she was able to get a feces sample, and from what she saw in the microscope, looks like bad parasites. Sent it to lab, and will know for sure in the AM. Started her on Albon doses. Syringe feeding her until she gets her appetite back. After reading a ton of stuff online, I am kind of at a loss about supplementing with a probiotic, especially after the antibiotics. Anyone know which is the best one to get?? Or is Apple Cider Vinegar enough? Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your chicken. I would definitely add something. Acv until you can get some probiotics/electrolytes. I use the save a chick packets but you could use anything just to boost her immune system and give energy
