Sulfa for baby chicks

[mneves]

Hi!! Where can I buy sulfadimethoxine drug to treat cocci in baby chicks without prescription? Thanks!!

I believe you need a script for Albon.
Have you tried treating your chicks with Amprolium (Corid)? Are they sick right now?

One of them was very sick, pooping straight blood. I am treating them all with Corid because they are all together... but I don’t think Corid is helping much. I read in another post that we can get sulfa for pigeons online without prescription but I can’t find the thread anymore

You can use Sulmet.
What dose of Corid are you using?
Dose is 1 1/2 teaspoon Corid Powder or 2 teaspoons Corid Liquid per gallon of water.

If you have one that's in bad shape, I would also direct oral drench with the Corid in addition to seeing that she's drinking the mixed Corid water. Sometimes when they are not well, they just don't drink enough medicated water.

Here's a link to the Sulmet. In the meantime, I would also give the chicks some buttermilk.

I just copied and will past this from online and I wonder why you think sulfadimethoxine drug will help
Below:
The most popular treatment for coccidiosis is Amprolium, which blocks the parasite's ability to uptake and multiply. Treatment is usually administered by adding Amprolium to the chickens' water supply, however in some cases, where sick chickens aren't eating or drinking enough, the medication is given orally.Mar 23, 2018

There are 9 strains of Coccidia. 2 of those strains cause blood in the feces. While Amprolium may be "most popular" it may not be as effective a treatment for treating certain strains like a Sulfa drug will, especially if infection is severe. "Most Popular" doesn't always mean best in every situation.
Sulfa drugs have been used many years for treatment of Coccidia overloads.

This is what I am doing, 1 1/2 tsp powder per gallon of water for 5 to 7 days. They are eating and drinking well, very active and alert. Only this one with a little bit of red in its poop still, but I hope when I finish Corid in 2 more days this little one will be all good too. I read that when they are pooping straight blood sulfa drug would be more effective than Corid...That is why I wanted to have it in hands in case Corid does not work well. I think I need prescription for Sumet.. but I found this online and I think I will get it. Just need to figure out the dose for chicks if I need to use
