    I am starting this in the morning after she has a little water . 40 mg in .02 ml of water via syringe because my girl has had impaction for a week now I will probably also be doing frozen coconut oil or olive oil.

    Treating Tapeworms - Under Construction

    Withholding food in the morning - chickens are hungry and so are the tapeworms, I do it in the morning and hold food for two hours and re introduce food slowly so they don’t over eat causing impacted crop etc. you want the tapes to get the med and if there is other food then less of an impact.

    Treating Tapeworms - Under Construction

    I can see this is lash material but next steps?

    I am so sorry for your loss. No one tells you how hard it is to lose them. I think we just have to know we love them and give them a best life possible . Doesn’t make it easier especially when they are our favorites and we are close with them. Thank you for sharing this with me.
