Coccidiosis in Jersey...

One of our Jerseys started to show trace blood in her stool. I called our vet

and he said it was probably nothing but if I wanted to he would do a fecal test.

The test came back with no worm eggs found but she did have a minor case of

coccidiosis. His instructions were to wait it out. That was last

Thursday....She still has blood in her stool. Over the weekend, she had

diarreah with blood at the end. I asked him again today and he did not seem

concerned. Any suggestions? I did give her some Pro Bias to help her gut and

have cut back on her grain. She eats and drinks fine.

Thanks!

If you are organic, there is a product from Agri-Dynamics called Vermatox (sp?).

It works very good. I wouldn't wait around and do nothing. I don't believe that

was very good advice. Just my two cents.

slippery elm is very helpful and soothing to the digestive tract. also aloe vera. 6 -8 oz twice a day as a drench or on her grain. slippery elm is sweet and you could mix 1/4 cup with her grain 2x a day.

I have used 5 days of SMZ's tablets in my sheep at the vets

recommendations in the past. Now, I have all the animals on my farm

(sheep, horses, donkey, cats) on an herbal deworming program and that

also seems to keep coccidiosis at bay too. I do fecals 2-3x a year to

see how things are going as well as weekly eyelid checks etc..... If

she has blood in her stool, I would do something and not wait it out

but, that is me.
