[Disease or Condition] Coccidiosis [Possible Treatments] Can be treated with Biosol/Neomycin, Sulmet (Sulfamethazine Sodium 12.5%), Corid, Albon or other therapy. Depending on weight, give Biosol/Neomycin 2-5cc to kids, and 7-10 cc to adults orally twice a day for 5 days. Sulmet can be used in small herds and is less expensive than other treatments because it is sold in smaller quantities (about $7/pint). Administer Sulmet as a drench, once a day for 5 days undiluted at the rate of 1cc / 5 pounds body weight. Corid can be mixed half Corid with half water and given as a drench with 1cc per 4 pounds for 5 days. Albon can be given orally as a drench 3-8cc depending on body weight for 5 days. Do not dilute Albon or give in drinking water. Often times the animal that is infected does not drink enough to cure itself. Ground Cloves can also be used as a preventative measure against Coccidiosis. Mix one tin of ground cloves like you buy in your local super market with 10 pounds of free choice minerals. Di-Methox Injection 40% can also be used as a preventative when given orally at three weeks of age at the rate of 1/2 cc twice daily, mixed with milk or water for one week, then 1/2 cc once weekly after that until weaned.
