2 days ago 2 of my peas died one aged 7 month and the other above 2 years.This left me worried and after consulting a vet I started enrofloxacin. I also suspected black head and started flagyl on my own.I have attached a poop pic and wanted to ask if these kind of droppings are normal. I have not wormed my peas at all and they remain caged. I have got ivermectin and albendazole. I got dosage for ivermectin but which dosage is to be used for albendazole and when would be ok to worm them?
Plz help as i do not want to loose more peas

That looks like it could be blackhead. I hope you are giving the medications orally because it will not work if you're giving it in the water. Albendazole dose is 20 mg per kg of body weight.

If they aren't drinking and eating you will also have to tube fluids and food.
 
I got an albendazole suspension that is 200mg per 5 ml.I got 1 adult male,1 adult female and a 7 months old peachick.
I could use some help with the doses.
You need to weigh them. Albendazole can be hard on the liver, as can Flagyl, so best to get a rough idea of how much they weigh.
 
An adult female should weigh 3-4kg, an adult male should weigh 4-6kg.

Your albendazole is 200 mg per 5 ml, which = 40 mg per 1 ml (albendazole here in the US is 113.6 mg per ml, so ignore all US dose suggestions).

Using your 40 mg/ml albendazole the doses are:
100 gram dose is 0.05 ml
500 gram dose is 0.25 ml
1 kg dose is 0.5 ml
2 kg dose is 1 ml
3kg dose is 1.5 ml
4kg dose is 2 ml
5kg dose is 2.5 ml
6kg dose is 3 ml
