Below are its applications for specific animals, what it treats, and the symptoms indicating its need:

1. Cats

• Condition Treated: Coccidiosis caused by Isospora species.
• Symptoms Indicating Its Need:
  • Diarrhea, which may be watery or bloody.
  • Dehydration and lethargy.
  • Weight loss and decreased appetite.

2. Dogs

• Condition Treated: Coccidiosis caused by Isospora species.
• Symptoms Indicating Its Need:
  • Diarrhea, often with mucus or blood.
  • Vomiting and abdominal discomfort.
  • Dehydration and weakness.

3. Poultry (Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks, Pet Birds)

• Conditions Treated:
  • Intestinal coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species.
• Symptoms Indicating Its Need:
  • Watery or bloody diarrhea.
  • Ruffled feathers and lethargy.
  • Weight loss or failure to gain weight.
  • Reduced feed intake and
  • Lethargy and drooping wings.
  • Reduced egg production.

4. Rabbits

• Conditions Treated:
  • Intestinal coccidiosis.
  • Hepatic coccidiosis caused by Eimeria stiedae.

Key Benefits

• Active Ingredients: Formulated with high-quality ingredients to effectively combat parasitic infections.
• Ease of Administration: Can be mixed with feed or administered directly, ensuring straightforward application and higher acceptance among animals.
• Coccidiosis Control: Effectively targets Eimeria and related protozoan species to prevent and treat intestinal and hepatic infections.
• Safe for Young Animals: Commonly used in young livestock and poultry, where coccidiosis can cause severe health and productivity losses.
• Safety Profile: Recognized for its favorable safety profile across different animal species, promoting recovery with minimal risk of side effects when used as directed.
• Improves Growth and Productivity: Helps restore feed efficiency and weight gain in infected animals.

How It Works

Diclazuril disrupts the life cycle of coccidia by interfering with their ability to reproduce and invade the intestinal lining, leading to their elimination and prevention of further damage.

Special Considerations

• Prophylactic Use: Often used in feed or water as a preventive measure in high-risk environments, such as crowded housing or during stressful periods (e.g., weaning).
• Veterinary Guidance: Proper dosage and duration should be determined by a veterinarian to avoid resistance and ensure effectiveness.
• Withdrawal Periods: Observe withdrawal times for meat and eggs from treated animals
• Not for Use in Pregnant or Lactating Animals: Avoid administering to pregnant or lactating animals unless specifically directed by a veterinarian.

Instructions for Use:

• Dosing: Follow veterinary guidance based on the weight of the sheep and the severity of the infection.
• Application Method: Administer orally using a dosing syringe or mix with feed for easy consumption.
• Monitoring: Regularly observe your sheep’s health after administering the solution and adjust treatment if necessary under the supervision of a veterinarian.

Safety Information:

• Veterinary Consultation: Always consult a veterinarian before starting treatment to determine the correct dosage and ensure safe usage.
• Storage: Store the solution in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals.
