[AlpacaTalk] RE: Albon
Thanks for the info Heather, very helpful. I appreciate it. It is very
expensive for me at this time, I don't see any smaller sizes. Does it
keep "forever", or does it expire? I just wanted to have some on hand
in case of an emergency type situation, have never needed any before.
They tell me at my feed store that lately *everyone* is buying Corid, so
they don't know if something is "going around". I have no idea - is
this a contagious type thing that would "go around"?
Thanks, Janice
<<<<We also prefer not to use Corid unless we have a recurrence of
coccidia after treating with Albon. We get Albon liquid from our vet.
It is also available from Valley Vet:

for the gallon size 12.5%. It can either be mixed in the water or
dosed orally.
Oregon State also recommends the 40% injectible suspension given by
mouth 1cc per 30 lbs of alpaca body weight.

This article is specifically speaking to E. mac, but we prefer to use
Albon over Corid, as Coridd is a thiaminase, which means it depletes
or binds thiamine so that the coccidia can't reproduce, However, it
also depletes it from the alpaca, and can cause PEM, which you really
don't want to have to deal with.>>>>
