Coccidiosis

Coccidiosis usually affects lambs. By the time that clinical signs can be observed, it is often too late. The first sign of coccidiosis is that lambs may not be thriving as well as expected. They may have mild diarrhea and have a dirty butt.  Soon, lambs begin to lose their appetite and become weak and unthrifty. Lambs may become anemic and strain to pass feces. As the disease condition worsens, affected lambs may experience severe diarrhea, with streaks of blood, followed by severe dehydration and death.

Several drugs are used to treat coccidiosis, including sulfa drugs, tetracyclines, and amprolium (Corid®). Conventional dewormers have no effect on coccidiosis.
