Marty has regressed and is hardly self-feeding. To keep his weight up, I bumped his tube feeding to 2X per day for 3 days. Each feeding was a whopping 40ccs. In between feedings the crop was completely empty. As of 8/11 he weighed 260g and I am reducing his tubing to 1X per day.
The fantails were given a one pill treatment course with Coximed, with a 10 day follow up. They seem to be in excellent health. Subsequently, the homers were given an initial dose on the 7th or 8th and will receive a 10 day follow up (or the most convenient weekend).
As much as I hate to dose the animals I felt it necessary since I could not isolate the homer with the high levels of coccidia and could not be sure if it was drinking enough to receive treatment through water. Good news: all birds seem to be doing well and have a lot of energy.
The other morning Berkeley, loft flew for about 20 minutes and then self-returned.
