ACOX
would not be with it for the weaned chicks perfect
Coccidiosis is a major problem which leads to many young chick deaths. Common in greenfinches, canaries, other British Finches and pigeons. Acox is what you need...
A liquid treatment for coccidiosis (birds going light).
Added directly into birds drinking water.
DO NOT GIVE WHEN CHICKS ARE IN THE NEST. Always read the label.
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.
By the time symptoms show the liver damage is permanent. Feeding our Feast Eggfood reduces the workload on the liver and may save some birds however the liver will not repair so they will always be vulnerable.
The real trick with Coccidia is prevention. That means reducing the level of Coccidia in the adults (you won't eliminate them completely even with powerful drugs). You have three choices.
1. The top choice is to feed our Feast Eggfood as it contains anti-coccidial herbs as well as powerful immune support so keeps infestation levels down before and all through the breeding season.
2. If you can’t feed Feast you can add our Flourish supplement to other brands of soft food and that will add the same immune support and anti-coccidial herbs.
3. Generally we prefer the natural approach but if you have a genuine problem, we would also recommend Acox in addition to Feast or Flourish for this season and the next. DO NOT give Acox whilst chicks are in the nest.

Good quality product
Use this once a year before breeding season or when a bird starts to look a little soft usually does the trick

Just the ticket
Gave to my birds as instructed as some looked a little off colour and had lost one or two. Have been all good since and assured to know I have some for giving whenever I feel needed.

Noticed that canaries and redpolls were looking not great,so decided to give acox treatment,and was about 6 days and started to see improvement and more activity from the birds. Shall now keep this in the shed at all times.
