Roberta, think I was posting when you were posting.. lol

Yes, we were, and I agree. The amount of Amprolium in the feed is minimal.
If it is cocci, you need Corid, which I also have.

I have Corid if you need some.

I am having a brain shutdown. Corid is what you need NOT Sulmet.
I have that too. I was just at Agway today complaining about what they do and don't carry.
Sulmet will overload the kidneys.

Sorry Maggie, started drinking a while ago....

Maggie,
Sorry this is happening right around the holidays. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. if there is any way for you to meet up with Roberta to purchase Doc Brown's Energency kit, it will have everything you need. I know there is someone over on the Silkie thread who is battling the same symptoms you have and is struggling to get her pullet well again.

Doc Brown recommend treating all my birds for cocci after getting the new birds from Florida. This is what he said:
"I would suggest using Sulfadimethoxine in the drinking water for 5 days. It is better than Amprol/Corid as it is more broad spectrum and covers a lot more Ills."

this is what I have done for sick birds and you may find some of this helpful...
Daily:
Vit E capsule 400 mg up to 3 times daily
PolyViSol baby vitamins without iron (1/2 dropper) one time daily - you can use the CVS or Rite Aid generic brand
Sprinkle Poulty Conditioner (Manna Pro) on feed one time daily

Weekly:
Sprinkle Probiotics (Tractor Supply) on the feed once a week
Add 1 capful of Red Cell to a gallon of water one time weekly

To administer the vitamins:
Gently wrap bird in a towel (or a sleeve cut from a sweatshirt or an ace bandage). Not too tight, because chickens don't have diaphragms like we do...and can suffocate.
Place bird on its back, lay bird on your lap with head by your knees.
I usually rub a little VetRx on the comb and nostrils with my finger. This helps the bird relax, and it smells good.
Gently open the beak, place vitamin dropper in, squeeze...and you are done.
Next take your Vit E capsule. With your teeth, bite a tiny bit off one end. Place in beak, squeeze and dispose of empty capsule.

Alternate method:
If your bird loves warm oatmeal or mashed hard boiled eggs...you can add the above vitamins to the treat and feed it to the sick

Hugs,
Tina
