TREATMENT OF COCCIDIOSIS
Coccidiosis is by far more easily prevented than treated. However, treatment is reserved for when prevention has failed. Amprolium is one of the more popular drugs for the treatment of coccidiosis. Sulfonamides, such as sulfadimethoxine, can be administered in the drinking water for treatment under the direction of a licensed veterinarian.

Other medications such as kepcox, Vitacox, Embazin-forte can also be used to treat coccidiosis.

Regardless of it’s severity, you should consider prescribed treatment for coccidiosis. Medicating infected chickens will minimize the amount of coccidia oocysts expelled in their droppings. This self-limits the parasite faster, prevents the spread of the infection, and reduces the chance of reinfection.

Medication can also minimize intestinal damage, relieve diarrhea to prevent dehydration, and prevent secondary infections from setting in. However, anticoccidial drugs are not an alternative to good management. They simply help control an infection to prevent it from becoming serious and fatal.
