Threadworms in hen

[SILKIEOBESSESED]

I have a list of cures for threadworms but I cannot find any of them for poultry. They're all for cattle, goats, and equines.

I am using this link

If anyone could supply me with o line links I could buy the medication I would greatly appreciate it.

My BO hen is not doing very well....

Yes, I saw that but when I looked it up, I could not find any for poultry...

Could not find any what?

The only thing approved for poultry is Wazine so you aren't going to find anything else labeled for poultry. Just use the safeguard for goats.

Ah I see. I would be worried about giving her too much or not enough... Since the dosage on the bottle would be made for goats

There are at least a hundred threads on it, I'm sure. Dosage is also on the website I linked. I believe dosage is the same since it's weight based, but use the search function to be sure.

For threadworms (capillary worms) one can use fenbendazole (Safeguard Liquid Goat Wormer or Equine paste) 0.25 ml per pound given orally for 5 consecutive days. Another good med is Valbazen 0.50 to 0.75ml once given orally, and then repeat that dose in 10 days.
