Treatment for blackhead

[Kessel23]

One of my turkey poults started to have foamy yellow poop yesterday, today he seems sluggish and his wings are droopy. I am pretty sure he has blackhead. A while ago casportpony told me that you can treat the blackhead protozoa with metronidazole and kill the cecal worms with safeguard. I need to know how much I have to give the turkey, he is 16 weeks old and is a BBB. Also, where can I get metronidazole and safeguard?
This is what his poop looked like btw-

How old is this poult?
Could you be dealing with coccidiosis?

Yes you can give those two together but...
@casportpony will have to tell you the doses.

He is 16 weeks old. It could be coccidiosis, I have had horrible luck with coccid this year, do you think I should start giving him corid?

 

[casportpony]

If he were mine I would treat for worms, coccidiosis, blackhead, and E. coli. Good chance it's just coccidiosis, but I don't waste time if there is even a slight chance of it being blackhead.

Do you have Corid powder or liquid?

I think you should always keep Corid on hand from now on since you have had problems with it in the past and use it at the first sign of "off" poops.

Is this turkey a pet or for eating? If for eating, all blackhead medications are banned for use in food animals, so that is something you would have to think about.

@kessel, we need to know how much your turkey weighs to recommend doses.

He is a pet. I have this Corid-

I am not sure how much he weighs, if I had to guess I would say 12 pounds. I will try to weigh him when I get home. Where can I buy metronidazole?

 

[casportpony]

Safeguard for goats, Safeguard for cattle, Safeguard paste for horses, or Panacur paste for horses - Dose to treat cecal worms or large roundworms is 0.23 ml per pound orally then repeat in 10 days.

When you get home try to get a weight on him, but don't worry about how accurate it is.

Give the undiluted Corid at 0.1 ml per pound orally once or twice a day for 1-3 days. Give this in addition to his medicated water, which should be 2 teaspoons per gallon.

Give the 2 teaspoons per gallon for 5 days, then give 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for 7-14 days.
