I’m trying to treat some teenage pullets for what I’m pretty positive is a resistant/recurring cocci strain (blackish sticky poop consistently, extremely smelly/bubbly and getting stuck to carriage feathers of the fluffier ones). Also my pullets are looking a bit pale, which may be from anemia, and they have no indications of a blood parasite, though I’ve treated with ivermectin to curb feather mites/possibly helmint in the past.
All of my local sources are completely out of any amprolium-based meds right now. I’ve ordered some online, but while I’m waiting for it to arrive, I wanted to begin treating with Sulfamethazine and see how that helps it.
What I have is Sustain III Calf Bolus, each bolus contains 8.02g of sulfa.
Is anyone able to help me with the math on dosing my flock? I can mix with water, do a drench, or just give part of the bolus direct by mouth.
On a side note, does anyone have any recommendations on other non-amprolium cocci treatments for particularly strong strains? I’m thinking of ordering toltrazuril, but it’s hard to find it that’s not a gigantic tub for horses, or a tiny tiny bottle for songbirds.
