Protozoa. Most redfoots are farmed. Even those that are not farmed are usually kept under crowded conditions under not the most sanitary conditions.



Flagyl is also a good gram negative antibiotic... which I believe is a good portion of the nasty bacterial.



Without spending a fortune in diagnostics it is a logical and relatively safe route for the situation described in the original post which is a very common pattern.





>>why flagyl?

>>what are you targeting with your treatment? Just curious.
