[CHICKENS-101] No coccidia meds...now what?

 

Hi all - one of my older ladies is down with what I presume is coccidia - back end soiled with droppings, not foraging like everyone else, head tucked, dark liquidy stools (not bloody yet but I'm sure that's coming). I'm very familiar with it in dogs and cats, but this is my first go-round in poultry and I was unable to find any meds at my local farm store this evening. I plan on calling my regular vet tomorrow and see if he'll prescribe me something (I'll even take him a fecal if he wants), but what should I do in the mean time? Electrolytes, special feed, etc? And can I order meds online if my vet won't prescribe anything? Which medication do you prefer?

Thanks for any help...why do bad things always happen at night?! :(
