Cocci Prevention / Treatment Thread

[AlaskanShepherdess]

I have been using the herbal formula GI Sooth, from Fir Meadow, which is a cocci prevention and treatment, as well as treatment for scours. It must be working because my 4 wk old kids are doing great with no signs whatsoever of any scours, and they were born just at the nastiest wettest, worm/cocci blooming time of the year.

Get a fecal...make sure you don't have subclinical.

 

[AlaskanShepherdess]

I'm planning to.

Do let us know how it's working based on the fecal samples!

Being new to this, is it just a given that new kids be treated for cocci? Should a fecal be run before hand?

I think most of the main people on here are treating for cocci at 3 weeks of age, some are treating 5 days on and 21 days off for several months.

We treat at 3 weeks of age, then we wait and see how it goes, at the first sign of them looking pot-bellied(rounded), or any scouring. We treat again. This year we had to treat again, around 28 days after the first treatment. We had a very wet spring. We don't run fecals for cocci, we just assume it is and treat for it with our kids. After around 5 or 6 months of age, it can get a little trickier, because they can start to carry a worm load on top of cocci, so it is harder to know which one is the problem .

I plan to do preventative treatments after having just had my first cocci outbreak. It was really bad

My vet suggested the preventative treatment (it was that bad) for the future.

1cc per 10# days 2-5 for prevention.

Where can I get the Di-Methox 40%? Do you need a prescription?

I believe it was neomycin sulfate that my vet gave for diarrhea.
