I don't think my 1.5 yr old GSL is going to recover from coccidiosis. I have three birds one has had watery diaharrea for months. Tried several meds, safeguard, tylan, oxysomething, none helped. Found a vet to see her did fecal float very high in cocci. Did two week Corid severe outbreak 2tsp/gal for 7days then 1tsp for 7 more. That was 5 weeks ago. Have not seen any improvement in the poop, still not laying (laid for 4 months then stopped in October and has not laid since). Weight loss has stopped but is not increasing. She is not completely lethargic but is certainly not as active as she should be. She eats but not much, drinks 3x the water as the other two.
I think the time has come to cull her. I think she is just slowly starving to death and is probably infecting the others? She definitely makes more of a mess pooping water everywhere wasting bedding and pdz.
I understand the cocci is on the ground and will always be here. Does that mean I will have to be constantly treating the flock? I will be replacing her with another layer, two hens is not giving us enough eggs. During segregation/introduction I plan on giving the new bird a course of Corid.
