Remember to keep an eye out for the cocci in about 2 or 3 weeks. It seems you may have had some previous issues with Cocci and it's important to keep in mind that it's something that doesn't go away and will continue to re-infect. It's best to be proactive and use a preventative measure every 19 days or about 2-3 weeks, (saves a lot of heartache and
frustration): Here's a note about Coccidiosis from Fiasco Farms: We do not recommend using a feed that contains a coccidiostat: there is no way that you can be sure how much medicine the kid is receiving. If he is underdosed, the coccidia will just build resistance (which is not good). If the kid is overdosed, you are overmedicating, and we don't feel that is good either. Dosing each individual kid, by weight, is the most accurate way to treat him. Use either one of the chemical drugs
listed below. TREATMENT (after you see signs of disease) If the kid is effected, don't waste time- treat them ASAP. Use either one of the chemical drugs listed below. If any or our kids under 10 months gets runny diarrhea, we treat him for Coccidiosis/Worms as stated above. NOTE: If you do not see improvement with whatever chemical treatment you are using in three days (you should see an improvement sooner than this), what you are using is not helping, and is not
going to work, and you may consider switching to something else. My first "chemical" choice for prevention is: Sulfadimethoxine Brand Names: Albon Concentrated Solution 12.5% Concentrated Solution 12.5% - Straight from the bottle; do not mix with water. Administer/Drench directly into mouth Give Orally - Administer straight into the mouth using a syringe (remove the needle). Do not just add it to the kid's water because you will not know if he receives the correct dose. Do not add it to his milk because the milk effects the potency of the drug. Five day treatment- you must treat the full five days. Note: We sweeten the drench with a little Stevia; My second "chemical" choice is: Sodium Sulfamethazine brands: Dose: Give Orally - Administer straight into the mouth using a syringe (remove the needle). Do not just add it to the kid's water because you will not know if he receives the correct dose. Do not add it to his milk because the milk effects the potency of the drug. Five day treatment- you must treat the full five days. Note: I would sweeten this drench a little Stevia Corid - I do not recommend using Corid. I have not found it to be effective.
