    Need dosing info for praziquantel 23 mg

    That’s what concerns me is that she ate the first egg two days after her first dosing. She only ate the yolk though so I’m hoping most of the residue was likely in the albumen. I don’t think it’s likely she had as much residue in today’s egg since it’s been 8 days since her first dose. I’ve...

    Need dosing info for praziquantel 23 mg

    Yes I definitely will be giving the follow up dosing in two days. My concern is that there is possible drug residue in her eggs from her first dose of praziquantel. If she ate small amounts in the soft egg then I’m concerned it could create a tapeworm that is resistant to praziquantel. Do you...

    Need dosing info for praziquantel 23 mg

    @Eggcessive the 5 month pullet I used single drug praziquantel for tapeworm on is still working out the kinks in her reproductive cycle and occasionally lays a soft egg. Two days after I wormed her she laid a soft egg and ate the yolk only before I found it. Now it’s been 8 days since I first...

    Need dosing info for praziquantel 23 mg

    @Eggcessive one 23mg pill would work for a 5 lb hen but she is 4 lb 10 oz. It would make my life easier to give her one pill instead of trying to divide it etc. Do you know if this is safe to go a tad over since I don’t have a 20 mg pill?

    Need dosing info for praziquantel 23 mg

    Hi, have tapeworms confirmed in one of my 5 month old gals. She is 4 lb 10 oz. I do not want to use ivermectin (in the Equimax equine) so I would prefer to just use praziquantel solo or with valbazen (if necessary for better coverage?) I have found this at my local Walmart. Is there anyone...

    Tapeworm and Valbazen Treatment

    @ @dawg53 We have sheep that picked up tapeworm from our cattle. I just recently moved the chickens to the barn to escape gapeworm and they were digging around in the sheep area and no doubt eating the segments. Now the chickens have tapeworm. We are going to clean that area well. I was...

    New pullet laying multiple soft eggs a day

    I had this with a 17 week pullet. I had raw garlic and apple cider vinegar in their water just temporary bc of some stubborn coccidia they had that didn’t respond to medicine (the natural method worked better and boosted immunity for them to fight it). Anyway when I stopped the garlic the two...

    Disease?!

    Think l found my answer. Amprolium showed no significant change in fecal samples before vs after treatment, while sulfa did. I will finish day 4-5 of Corid and then if not gone I will switch to two days of sulfamethazine. I have that medication here already...

    Disease?!

    Thanks for responding, Dawg. You have both been so helpful to me in the past so I appreciate it. If they continue to have some oocysts on the slide but not much then don’t worry with treating them further then?

    Disease?!

    Hey thanks for responding! I value your opinion. This was found only in their cecal so I’m assuming it’s the e tenella and I’ve always seen blood with it. They did not show any symptoms at all. I only found bc I did a routine fecal. I meant if the Corid doesn’t get rid of the coccidia should...

    Disease?!

    @Wyorp Rock I have three 17-week olds that I had to move to new ground to get away from gapeworm and although the new area didn't have gapeworm, it had the e tenella/cecal coccidia in that area. The chicks never had any symptoms (I only found it by accident on a fecal that I do myself here). I...

    Wheezing, coughing rooster.

    I have gapeworm here in my flock. It’s been a battle. Your symptoms are classic for it and I lost my 3 yo rooster to it not recognizing that’s what he had. He was in an area I thought was clean. I’d get a stool sample for sure and worm with safeguard for five entire days at appropriate...

    Wheezing but otherwise normal

    I’ve got a 4 month rooster doing something similar. I have gapeworm in my area and he had it a month ago. The wheezing and strange noise just started four days ago. His breath sounds are somewhat labored but I can’t hear my girls his age breathing at all. So I feel he has something going on...

    Do the whites of these 15 week olds eyes look yellow to you?

    Do the sclera look strange for 15 week olds? They appear a yellow tinge to me. No parasites internal or external that I know of and they have been checked. Hatched here under a mama hen. On nature’s best organic chick feed. The other chickens are all adults in other yards and their sclera...
