Thank you so much!!

I also should have added in my question about dosing above, should I just treat once or wait a period of time and treat again?

Thank you! We don't have have fleas so I guess we are good. The vet said it would be unlikely for them to pick up parasites from the chickens - some illnesses like bacteria were possible for the dogs to catch but parasites were unlikely. It just worries me because the dogs seem to think chicken...

Also, it looks as if valbazen covers the most worms. It's very expensive, though, and I only have four white leghorns. I'm afraid it would never get used up. I'm looking at the zimecterin gold - a bb size amount or a pea size amount for white leghorn hens? Thank you!

Thank you. I'm just really puzzled as to why the vet found no trace of any parasites when I gave him several samples. I'm going to get something to treat them, but I sure wish there had been some answers, mostly for my dogs' sake. I'd like to know if this type can be passed on to them.

By the way, the photo on this copied/pasted thread looks very similar to what I am seeing: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/421028/worms-in-feces-graphic-and-horrible-picture Is it possible they could be eggs since the vet found no parasites?

Okay, so the vet said he looked through the droppings for 20 minutes, put samples on slides for the microscope, etc. and could not find a single parasite. This is really strange to me because I have seen more droppings since yesterday with these little things that look like tapeworm segments...

This will cost $23. I mostly want to rule out whether this is a worm that I may need to treat my dogs for, since their monthly medication only covers heartworm, roundworm and hookworms. I'll have more peace of mind if I know the chicken worms aren't affecting the dogs :)

Thank you! Isn't that the same ingredient as Safeguard (fenbendazole)? If so, I was under the impression that it won't kill all types of tapeworm, but maybe that doesn't apply to the tapeworms chickens can get. The vet in the next town will do a chicken fecal test but no vet around here works...

I was just reading about worming the other day and decided that since we had never wormed our chickens (we got them last April as newly hatched chicks), I should probably do it. They are free range chickens and look very healthy, but I figured we probably have worms. I have some Wazine coming...
