Marek's vaccine.

I believe with the Marek's vaccine they will still get it, but not get the tumours that go along with it and do the most damage. I've been reading up on all this and I still feel I know next to nothing. Where do you get your vaccines to give your birds? I'm having some problems with what I think is Coccidia, I called the vet to ask for Amprol and they say they need to do a visit to our farm to sell me anything like that. Do you guys have the vet come out to your place in order to buy the vaccines? I don't have that many birds, and it would cost more to get the vet here than it would to lose the flock and start over. I ended up ordering Corid off Amazon...but I was wondering about where you get the vaccines.

The ILT comes from a vet at ?U of Guelph? that Joan (chitaquarott) knows. It's quite a long expiration date so we order and split it up 10 vials and split it up between us. I don't vaxx for anything else.

Lori,
I was able to get corrid from my vet without a 'farm' visit. I brought a close up picture of a bloody poop and they dispensed without question.
Do you another accessible vet? For next time? Although I'm sure the container on Amazon will do you for a while.
