Hi again,
I have a bird that we assumed had coccidiosis and we have had the whole flock on amprol for about 9 days now. Well, this bird hasn't gotten better at all in my opinion. Her latest issue is the comb. It's getting floppy like they do when they are dehydrated, it's not as red anymore either... more purple in nature. It's all I can do to keep it's rear end clean from the runny poop. I have been keeping an eye on her and her body doesn't seem very dehydrated. She's slower and more spacey than the others and is often seen on her own or 'last in line' as it were.
This is exactly what happened to the other one that ended up dying. When the other one finally died the crop was impacted and she was very dehydrated.
I'm thinking Vet again, but while that's in order are there any opinions here?
Thanks!
