Coccidiosis -- Posted by Onorio Catenacci on 09-20-04 19:30
Hi all,
To help steer the conversation back to where it should be, I'm wondering
about something.
Would anyone be willing to discuss what sorts of measures they take in
their lofts to prevent coccidiosis? What about treatment?
I'm curious about people's experiences with different medications and
also about administration of various treatments.

Tonyf and E-man has a very simple solution, with one twist snap the head of
their pet pigeon and throw it in the dump.
No need for medication.

Yo Onorio,
products for helping clear up coccidiosis, although useful in getting rid
of the disease, are better utilized as a preventitive than as a cure.
Usually, by the time a bird starts showing physical signs of sickness,
it is usually too late. Having said that, I use 1 tsp. per gallon drinking
water, of Trimethoprim/Sulfa, for 5-7 days. This stuff is very stressful
to the birds, and after treatment you should replace their "good-gut"
bacteria, (I use Pro-Bios, 1 tsp. per gallon, for 2 days.)
Then, you should supplement them with vitamins and electrolytes, and again,
this is a mix you put in the water for 3-5 days.
Make sure you scrape all perches thoroughly, regularly. And make sure your
loft is dry. I also use a disinfectant product in the water called Nolvasan.
Sorta like a lite-bleach. Stops the birds from spreading it bird to bird.
And make sure you have no mice that get in your feeders, grain, or loft.
They can cause, and spread coccidiosis to your birds.

ps: Onorio, you should try blocking that szaki idiot from your newsreader.
Very refreshing to open this group and not see any of his posts!%^)

Hi E,
Already blocked. I feel better already.

I only treat birds that are not to far gone. There is no use
to save a bird that could be infertile from the medication
levels. I haven't had the disease in my birds since I built the
new loft about ten years ago. I do use penicillin on the
birds when it's necessary. It is great for a bird off of their
feed and getting thin and listless. I never did believe in pre
medication. I guess it works on some illnesses. The surest
way to avoid all problems is good food, clean water minimum
twice daily,open lofts with good southern exposure and to
make sure they don't get overcrowded. Flying birds don't
take as much room as say show birds or god forbid, utility
pigeons who never get out. One other thing I do is to offer
bath water 365 days a year. I let the birds decide on whether
they want a bath or not. My birds love to get out and take a
bath and lay in the sun in the colder months.
