Thanks! That is very kind of you.
We have put down DE under structures (houses/sheds) but I didn't do it on the platform that their enclosure sits on. I wasn't sure if it would hurt them. So far I haven't noticed a problem, but this information is good to know.
I know they recommend dusting the birds with diatomaceous earth (sp?). But I'm not sure if that will handle lice. Maybe someone else can tell us why the use of diatomaceous earth. Just be sure and shield their nose and eyes when you dust it on. They shouldn't breathe it. We put the DE down under...
From Kathy:
Wazine #17 effective in treating large roundworms if they drink enough of the medicated water.
If you want to treat for all worms, use Safeguard again in 10 days. The Safeguard dose that will treat all worms is 0.23ml per pound for *five* consecutive days. Ignore the instructions...
I have wormed my 3 ducks with Wazine #17. I understand that it only kills ringworm should I repeat the Wazine in 10 days?
I also have Safeguard dewormer for the other types of worms. How long after the Wazine can I use the safeguard? Or should I even use the Safeguard?
