    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...

    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...

    I need to avoid earthworms for parasite reasons. If I put sand in their run, do earthworms stay out of it? Thanks

    Post impaction eating abnormal amounts of grass (pic)

    Fought a crop grass impaction for two weeks and it’s been gone for three days. I let her have access to grass a little more each day. She was digesting everything well the last three days so today I let her out and noticed her obsessively eating grass again. She eats her feed just fine and I’ve...

    Soft egg moved backward in oviduct

    I’ve got approximately a five year old red star who acted sickly on Thursday, typical of a soft egg. I waited all day and nothing. Thursday night I gently felt inside and could feel the soft shelled egg but it only would roll over in place so I left it alone and assumed it would come on out...

    Hen suddenly holding mouth wide open and not because she’s hot.

    My hen walked into a patch of weeds she’s gone into many times since their yard is small and came out with her mouth wide open. I will attach a pic taken from the night cam. She’s not breathing heavy. Nothing poisonous that I know of. It’s been going on for almost an hour. Her comb is not...

    Does anyone know what could cause this? I believe she is about 5 years old. Red star breed. Saw her looking “off” and figured it was a soft shelled egg. Saw something dark in it after she passed it and this is what I found. Never seen anything like it. When I poked through the red it was...

    Fecal confirmed gapeworm resistance to fenbendazole

    Hi, I have had gapeworm in the past confirmed by both the vet and myself (I now do my own fecals) and in the past I’ve used three days at 1cc per hen per day (4-5 lbs) and it’s worked. One of my hens has been stressed with a moult (she moults in the summer instead of fall) and I always check...
