i agree i would wash well then rinse them and maybe do a 5 or 10 percent bleach soak (restaurants do this for our dishes) thoroughly rinse and sun dry

Bleach doesnt kill it unfortunately

also never mix bleach and dawn dish soap it makes a toxic gas!

7 doses was only $34 which was really surprising.

Ponazuril is $130 or more when purchased from a compounding pharmacy +/- shipping. It is actually a horse drug.

found this A study back in 1940 by Horton-Smith et al on ammonia concentrations for poultry farming showed that varying concentrations of ammonia and water killed coccidia oocysts over different durations. A 1% ammonia solution killed 100% of oocysts but it took 24 hours whereas a 10% solution only required 45 minutes.

Yeah but I mean its 2021 lol everything is so expensive now. I expected it to be at least 50 seeing that it was 80 just to take him in to do a fecal

You can buy it at any Sally's beauty supply. But get the 40 volume liquid not cream version. And it is typically much cheaper there rather then ordering it online.

 

[cham girl]

Thanks I love that store

No this is not what you want.

You want 40 volume liquid peroxide... It is the developer that is used in bleaching hair.
If you have a Sallys beauty supply they sell to unlicensed people. So you can buy it there. Typically you can easily get the 32 ounce size but they do sell it in the gallon form as well.

You need to buy gloves and I would wear glasses... Get a spray bottle that you only use with this. Toss when your done and the coccidia is totally gone so you do not accidentally use it for water.

This is a very very strong product. Will burn exposed skin. So use caution.

I was going to use 10% ammonia, I found it online at ace hardware, now I'm confused on what to use

I would go read what @JacksJill posted. She has had hands on experience with actually dealing with this parasite.

Everyone that helped in my thread also recommended the 40 volume peroxide they too had to use it with cleaning.

I do not know anything about the ammonia or how you would use it. I went with the advice of those that had dealt with cleaning for it and what they used rather than others that had no experience with it.
