Acox
Coccidiosis is a major problem which leads to many young chick deaths. Common in greenfinches, canaries, other British Finches, pigeons and poultry. Acox is what you need.
A liquid treatment for coccidiosis (birds going light).
Added directly into birds drinking water.
Going light is generally caused by a protozoan parasite called Coccidia. Coccidia is common in adult birds and only rarely causes a problem with these. However the adults infect their babies when feeding and the poorly developed immune system of the babies is not able to block large numbers of them.
The Coccidia enter the bloodstream and completely change their form (they are often called atoxoplasma or many other names). These bugs get into the liver and spleen which they damage but, while there is enough functioning liver the birds grow perfectly normally. At around 8-12 weeks of age the liver damage reaches a critical point and the birds spend a lot of time eating but lose weight and die.
DO NOT GIVE WHEN CHICKS ARE IN THE NEST. Always read the label.
