Cockerel still has diarrhoea after being treated for roundworms

[barley013]

I have a cockerel that was acting lethargic and had yellow diarrhoea. I treated him for worms with ivermectin and he passed a big roundworm and looked a little brighter but still had yellow diarrhoea. I had a fecal worm count done and that confirmed that he had a round of roundworm eggs and was advised by my vet to treat him again with ivermectin and if that didn’t work treat I’m with flubenvet or panacur. If he was being fussy with his food.

He has the second treatment of ivermectin and has also been treated with panacur but is showing no signs of improvement and if anything the diarrhoea is getting even more watery than before.

Does anyone have any idea why he is still unwell after being treated by two different wormers and have any suggestions on how to help him?

Welcome To BYC

What dosing of Panacur did you give? Photo of the bottle or packaging?

I assume since your mention Flubenvet, you are not in the U.S. Adding your location to your profile can often help us make better suggestions.

Photos of the poop and bird are always welcome, if you have photos of the worms, those would be good too.

How old is the cockerel?
What do you feed?
Did the vet test for Coccidiosis too?

I'd see that he's eating well and drinking. Giving him white cooked rice with buttermilk for a couple of days may help soothe the gut and regulate his poop.
