If she does have Coccidiosis, there are some other meds you can use also for treatment:

Other meds known to often be strongly effective against Coccidiosis:
Sulfadimethoxine (or Sul-Met but it is more harsh on chickens' systems), Penazeryl (helpful in treating Amprolium-resistant Coccidiosis).

Meds that may be somewhat helpful against Coccidiosis:
Oxytetracycline, Chlortetracycline.

Dewormers that are likely to help fight Coccidiosis to a perhaps varied degree:
Fenbenzadole (Available as Safe-Guard goat, dog & cat dewormer), Valbazen

However, I think there are a number of other possible causes for her problems to also consider.

Sulmet is sulfamethazine--sulfadimethoxine is Di-Methox, Albon, or Sulfamed G or just sold under it's generic name. Because of the similar sounding names they are often confused. Sulmet is more harsh than sulfadimethoxine.

The feed store didn't have what I need, the next stop is a pet store in town that carries livestock supplies.

But.. Would she not have red or pink or bloody stool if she had cocci? She's had butter milk snack but it's almost like she nibbles at things but can't barely open her beak wide enough to eat anything. She gets very excited at the idea of treats but then barely seems to have enough energy to eat she is still drinking plenty though.

Not all strains of Coccidiosis cause bloody droppings. There are nine strains of Coccidiosis, and I believe that only two cause blood in the droppings.

so if I find what I need med wise, should I offer it to the whole flock? or just her?

It is not hard on them, so it it usually given to everyone with just one water source. Can you call a vet's office to buy it?

Ok I found something today, this stuff: http://www.domvet.com/sulfaquinox.html I had to buy a huge jug of it, 4 liters. I have segregated her and given her the proper dosage in her water. It said it must not be use on laying birds, and that to wait 12 days after slaughter before onsuming. She has never laid an egg yet and I suspect if she does come back from the brink that it will be some time before she ever lays one, so I should be good right? Or would I never be able to eat her eggs?

The waiting time for the eggs is just to make sure that all the "poison" is out of her system. I used Safeguard and everyone suggests a 14 day wait. It hurts to toss those eggs since I waited soooo long for them!

ok well in her weakened state I don't suspect I will see an egg from her anytime soon so we will probably be safe, thank you

it could be stress or she could be sick, you could apply " rooster booster '' to it if that does not work let me know!!!
