Albon and fenbendazole panacur for coccidiosis

[Tanner123]

Vet gave us these for coccidiosis, wondering if they work like corid. Vet seemed unsure if giving vitamins would counteract the wormer or not.

I don't know if panacur will treat anything but worms but the Albon should. I wouldn't give vitamins. any reason they didn't just give corid?

She was really sick and we didn't know what it was. Vet diagnosed her with coccidiosis and a bacterial infection. Haven't got the results back on the bacteria yet. Vet suggested treating the rest of the flock with corid. But the vet gave us those 2 wormers and a antibiotic for the one we brought in.

I would hold off the vitamins until you finish treatment.

Albon is a sulfonamide antibiotic; it is used to treat Coccidiosis and certain infections.

You mention the vet giving you 2 wormers and an antibiotic. I don't see but one dewormer in your posts. Panacur is a name brand, the active ingredient is Fenbendazole. What is the other dewormer? It's unusual to give 2 dewormers together.

How old is this bird you are treating and what are her symptoms? Just curious.

The vet gave us the albon and Fenbendazole as a wormer, one for 3 days and the other for 5. The antibiotic just has some letters on the label like smb-zta. (I don't have the paperwork with me to give the exact info sorry)

We have a 8month old polish, short version of her symptoms is she became very lethargic and lost all her appetite.

The antibiotic is smz-tmp. The albon was for 5 days the Fenbendazole was 3 days. Also suggested we treat the rest of the flock with amprolium. Would it be bad if the one we took to the vet and gave the meds to also drank the water with the amprolium?

First of all the fenbendazole is a dewormer. Albon is not. It is a sulfonamide antibiotic. SMZTMP is also a sulfonamide antibiotic, but is not the same drug as Albon. Albon is sulfadimethoxine. Younwill need to separate the one chicken on the sulfa antibiotic.

We have been keeping her inside at night. Only let them out in the yard together and in a separate part of the coop by herself when we are gone during the day. Only thing left we are giving her (or trying to give her when she cooperates) is the smztmp. We just started the rest of the flock on corid yesterday.

Should she be on the corid water as well or no?

Fenbendazole is a dewormer. Giving for 3 days is interesting. Did the vet tell you to dose each bird individually or how are you giving it?

Amprolium (Corid) is a Coccidiostat. That would go in the flock's drinking water to treat Coccidiosis.
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

The hen that is sick and has prescribed medication and care should be treated on her own with the medications the vet suggested since she should be drinking the medicated (Albon/Smz-Tmp) water as the only source of drinking water and the Fenbendazole is given by weight orally once daily.
