Probably better to use something designed to be poured on. -Kathy

1 ml of the sheep drench has 0.8 mg (800 micrograms) ivermectin. Not sure what the dose should be, but it's probably 0.12 ml to 0.57 ml per pound. -Kathy

I would use syringe to measure the exact amount, which is the same as the liquid, .5ml per 2.2 pounds. 1 gram of paste = 1 ml of liquid, both have 100mg of fenbendazole.

That's a good idea... How much can you get in one berry? -Kathy

Panacur suspension *is* exactly the same as Safeguard suspension, both have 10% fenbendazole, but for some stupid reason you need a prescription to get liquid Panacur, but not Safeguard, go figure, lol, so just go to Tractor Supply and get the 125ml Safeguard bottle in the goat and/or cattle...

Lots of colored pictures! If you want an avian specific one, contact an avian pathologist and ask them if one exists or what they would recommend. -Kathy

This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Veterinary-Clinical-Parasitology-Anne-Zajac-ebook/dp/B006ISI2V2 -Kathy

If they were gapes and the treatment worked you should have healthy chickens in a couple of days I imagine. -Kathy

I'm curious... how could a worm that lives in the trachea be seen in a pile of poop? Am I missing something? Do they also like in the intestines? Not trying to be a pain, just really curious, lol. -Kathy

I have treated with both at the same time and there used to be a wormer called Trifen Plus that had both of them, so it has been done. If he were mine and I thought he had gapes, I would worm him. -Kathy

Panacur suspension is 10% fenbendazole, so that's fine, but at 3cc per gallon I don't think they got enough wormer to do much good. If I were in your shoes I would weigh my roo and worm him accordingly, it sure won't hurt him and it *might* save his life. Fenbendazole is very safe and is used at...

I use 10% fenbendazole (Safeguard or Panacur, liquid or paste) for worms and if I suspected gapes, I would try to treat for it like the study suggests. Like you, I also have a new bottle of ivermectin that I bought before I knew about it not being a good wormer for poultry. If you don't have...

I use it for mites, but not worms. -Kathy

I have never seen any published info on treating gapes with ivermectin, but there was a study done that suggests 20mg/kg fenbendazole (Safeguard or Panacur, liquid or paste) three days in a row for gapes. 20mg/kg is .2ml per 2.2 pounds. Email the link below to your vet...
