[Jacob-list] dewormers and anti-diarrheals?

[Neal and Louise Grose]

Linda,
I am going to vote for not using anti-diarrheals with the coccidiostat. Mst 
of the time with treating coccidias, you will need to treat for 10 days or 
so, wait 10 days and then repeat treatment for 10 days to clear up newly 
hatched eggs.
Neal
