Coccidiosis in chickens is characterized by pale comb and wattle and dull plumage. They just look unwell. Weight loss may occur and droppings will appear discoloured, sometimes showing blood, and watery. Coccidiosis is caused by a small intestinal worm and can be fatal if left untreated. There are a number of commercial water soluble treatments available. Consult your local feed & grain outlet for what is available since brands are different in every area and country.

Can amprolium hydrochloride be used to treat coccidiosis in laying hens?
Amprolium HCl is used to treat coccidiosis of laying hens, growing chickens, turkey, cattle's and different other farm animals, also used as assistance treatment drugs to prevent and control the coccidiosis' spread. Amprolium Hydrochloride is traditional coccidiostatic, and it's used in poultry feed to control coccidiosis. Amprolium Hydrochloride is very good against the hemorrhage-producing coccidia E. tenella and E. necatrix and it has some activity against E. maxima, amprolium hydrochloride is one of the most safety anti-coccidial drugs and be approved by FDA.
What is coccidiosis in dogs?
Coccidiosis is a protozoan infection. It causes severe gastric distress, and can be fatal.
What are the causes of coccidiosis in dogs?
Coccidiosis is a protozoan infection. It is usually spread by contact with infected feces.
Do humans get coccidiosis?
Yes, humans can get coccidiosis, but it is rare. It is more commonly seen in animals, particularly birds and livestock. In humans, coccidiosis typically occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems or in areas with poor sanitation.
What is an anticoccidial?
An anticoccidial is a substance which counteracts coccidiosis.
Can coccidiosis in dogs be fatal?
Many dogs do not show any symptoms at all, but dogs that are young, elderly, or have a compromised immune system can die from a coccidiosis infection.

Do you worm rabbits?
There are very few instances where you would worm a rabbit. If they are in a clean cage and eat clean vermin free food there is no reason to have to worm them. You may, however, have to treat them for coccidiosis of the intestines and/or liver.
What are three diseases affecting rabbits?

What is the drug resistance of amprolium?
Amprolium is not an organism, so is not an antibiotic in the sense I think you mean. It is an analog of Vitamin B1, and works by preventing the uptake of thiamine (B1) by the organism which causes coccidiosis. Amprolium makes the creature's body an environment hostile to the development of coccidiosis, without actually attacking the coccidiosis organism. It's like a placebo food for the coccidiosis microbe, which gets no nourishment from it. To some degree amprolium also reduces the uptake of thiamine in the creature who is eating amprolium in its feed, so it is only administered until the young chickens are old enough to have built up an immunity to coccidiosis, from low-level environmental exposure to it. Then they are switched to unmedicated feed. (This is fairly common for management of small poultry flocks; I can't speak about the management of large-scale operations.) Using amprolium does not contribute to drug-resistant microbes.
How can you prevent your dog getting coccidiosis?
Keep puppies away from dog parks or other areas that there may be coccidiosis infected feces (and other infectious diseases) until they are old enough to have a more developed immune system.
Is there a coccidiosis vaccination for pet birds?
Coccidiosos is an infection caused by a protozoan, and it is found in most environments. However, the coccidiosis vaccine administered in the U.S. is unattenuated, meaning it is not weakened in any way, and can actually cause illness and retarded growth.
