ivermectin

I have a hen who is definitely getting up in years now. I've had her 6 years, she was full grown when I got her. Anyway, she still is very active and spunky normally. I recently dealt with 2 problems simultaneously with her. We had a Northern fowl mite infestation which I treated with warm baths...

Hi everybody, I'm turning to you in the hope for some advice/help. At the beginning of January, I noticed that my 7-year-old runner duck Imma couldn't quack as loud as she used to but sounded hoars. A week later she started what I would say is sneezing - so I gave her VetRx. I was worried...

In this thread, we will discuss the use of ivermectin both in treatment of our chickens for things like mites, and its possible use against COVID. I don’t want to take any position on ivermectin except as an excellent anti parasitic medication for cattle, pigs, chickens, and more. One of the...

Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot of old posts about treatment of lice and mites in peafowls with ivomec (ivermectin). I can't find ivermectin where I live, but I have Dectomax (doramectin), injectable 1%. Is it safe for peafowls to use doramectin instead of ivermectin? Any personal...

Dear chicken friends.. We all know what Covid and the fear of Covid has caused throughout recent history. :barnie We also know that our "government" CANNOT be expected to know what is in the best interest of the PEOPLE but are indeed looking out for their own interest, whatever that may be...

I want to info if I should use Ivermectin or permethrin for my chickens relentless mite problem. They have these mites that are gray white and only stay in the skin. But recently the mites aren’t so gray they are more of a bright red color! I have done permethrin spray on all the walls of the...

I have a 1.5 year old leghorn that has been acting odd and I can’t figure out what to do next. On 6/23, I saw her extending her neck and gasping twice and then her behavior returned to normal, so I just assumed she had something stuck in her throat and she cleared it. On 6/24, she began...

I've read a lot about giving ducks ivermectin for gapeworms and giving it to them orally but all I can find online is injectable, pour on, and paste. If anyone can help me get in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is well. Over the past year I've noticed my dominique hen named Sugar slowing down. She's about six years old. She is having a harder time keeping up with the flock and scratching for bugs. I thought she was just getting arthritis but now I'm convinced that most of her...

Hiya, So I have a small flock of chickens (3 hybrids about 8months old and 2 pekin bantams about 6months old) and all has been fine until today...I was cleaning the coop out and noticed some liquidy poo which I thought was just ceacal poo - I look in it and saw a few large worms inside! After a...

So I got oral ivermectin and gave a dose to my sweet runner. She had more maggots this morning than last night. About when should I be expecting the maggots to die? And I read that I need to give another dose in 10 days. Should I also be adding sea salt to her soaks?

Just got 3 chickens today that I did not know would have leg mites but unfortunately do :( I've dunked all 3 in a bath of baby oil for a couple minutes at a time and I have ivermectin drops on the way. When I get the ivermectin, how should I administer? Orally? On the back of the neck? And when...

Hello everyone! I noticed that the feathers on my birds have become raggedy at the ends with some horizontal lines on the wing and tail feathers. I'm thinking they have a case of depluming mites. I plan on cleaning out the coop and spraying everything down with permethrin. My bantam cochin's...

Multiple recommendations for different meds appear, but which is the very best?

My vet gave me ivermectin oral for mites for my chickens. I cannot find mites but all indications are that is why they have no feathers on their bun and belly. The skin is also quite red at times. Has anyone used the oral for mites and what is the egg withdrawal time? Thanks for your help. I am...

Long time no see, BYC! I'm going to make this post short and sweet lol. What should I treat first? Worms or coccidia? We had devastating flooding, it brought in a bunch of crap. I noticed some thinner chickens today and thought I should treat them to be safe. I have corid(liquid) and...

Hello All, Wondering if you think this treatment would work for scaly leg mites. I have a flock of about 65. I have a bottle of Permectrin II (pyrethrin) that is labeled for chicken mites(general statement on label). It is a contact killer, and is labeled for used on poultry. However, I am...

One of my chickens started looking poorly on Monday (April 8). Tail down and lethargic. We've had very healthy chickens and no problems for a few years now, so it was definitely a surprise when this one started acting sick. I know chickens are great at hiding illness, so when we notice...

I had a very difficult time finding any information on this topic so I wanted to put this out there as I've had some good early results with this- I brought home a year old Salmon Favorelles rooster a few weeks ago as I wanted a rooster in my flock but I didn't want to raise any more chicks at...
