Coccidia

Symptoms of Coccidia are:

Depression Anorexia Anemia Signs of pain such as hunching Pale mucous membranes Blood or mucous in the feces Poor coat condition Dehydration Weight loss or poor weight gainor growth In severe cases of intestinal coccidiosis intussusception, convulsions or paralysis or fatality may occur In severe cases of hepatic coccidiosis weakness, liver damage, and bile duct damage may occur, followed by coma

Treatment for Coccidia infestation, Toltrazuril (Baycox®) should be used in more advanced cases as it will completely eradicate the parasites'.

Symptoms of Coccidia are:

• Depression
• Anorexia
• Anemia
• Signs of pain such as hunching
• Pale mucous membranes
• Blood or mucous in the feces
• Poor coat condition
• Dehydration
• Weight loss or poor weight gainor growth
• In severe cases of intestinal coccidiosis intussusception, convulsions or paralysis or fatality may occur
• In severe cases of hepatic coccidiosis weakness, liver damage, and bile duct damage may occur, followed by coma

Drug class:
