Hello everyone I just lost a goat kid to coccidiosis, so I got a fecal float at a local lab to see if treatment is working with toltrazuril and I’m not sure how to read this.

Basically, NO, the treatment is not working... there are mixed Eimeria which means that different stages have been found.
Also the first one has some roundworm infestation.
You need to switch to a different drug. Ivermectin will work on roundworms... one of the febendazole type will work on both (safe guard).
Corid will work best on the coccidiosis... I use it OFF LABEL as per a vet's suggestion.... in calves it is about 1 cc per 100 lbs... It is hard to overdose it...(I will give 3 cc to any calf for 3 days) as it passes through fairly quickly... but a small syringe with 1/4 cc for a 25 lb goat would do it... 3 days straight... just stick the little syringe without a needle in their mouth and down the throat...
