This probably isn't much help. We don't see a lot of coccidia around here. This kitten season (thus far) it's been all giardia. When we do treat coccidia, we use Albon, 'cause the formulation we get is custard-flavored and they usually like the taste--unlike metronidazole!
I know that the Humane Society of Silicon Valley treats with ponazuril because I apprenticed there last summer--I think they do it pre-emptively but I don't quite recall. I think coccidia is more common in some areas than others. I don't know if any of the HSSV folks are on the forum, though, to answer for themselves.
Remember that you can ALWAYS calculate your own concentration using the following formula:
how many mLs I want to use per dose / how many mLs I need to dilute
=
how many mg is needed per dose / my supply mg
Your unknown is the "how many mLs I need to dilute", so cross multiply and solve for the unknown.
Ex:
I want to dose a kitten with 0.2 mL of some medicine. I know the dosage is 10 mg/kg and my kitten is 1 kg. My supply is 100 mg.
So, 0.2 mL/ x mL
=
10 mg / 100 mg
0.2 X 100
=
10 x
so
20 = 10 x
so
20/10=x
so
2=x
I need to dilute my supply of 100 mg with 2 mL of liquid to create a new supply that will provide, in 0.2 mL, 10 mg of meds.
Hopefully that made sense.
