Treating all flock for Cocci

[Hegatha]

Hi I was just curious would it be okay to just treat my whole flock for Cocci? I lost a 3 month old seabright this weekend not sure of what but she started acting sluggish with her wings held down and walking slower. Not sure if she was eating or drinking but she felt really light she died after just 5 days. Im worried if she had it the other might get it. So is it okay to just be safe and treat everyone?
Thank you

Yes, it is okay to treat everyone. Coccidiostats aren't antibiotics-- they only work by depriving the little Coccidiosis protozoa of thiamine (vitamin B1). As long as they aren't used continuously, they are perfectly safe for birds.
