Any reviews for vermex? Flubenvet available in US?

[Alliet]

Hello! Im considering getting some vermex for my 6 mo old bantam cochins and silkies. They have been wondefully healthy but I have not dewormed them and want to have something on hand for prevention or if a problem arises. Im also interested in Flubenvet as there is no withdrawal period but it seems it is only available in UK. Is that right? Any product tips for prevention? They do free range a bit, eat snails, earthworms, and have occasional exposure to wild birds. I dont want to randomly throw wazine and species specific dewormers at them without a confirmed problem. Looking for something more broad spectrum and well tolerated. Thanks!!

Have fecals run occasionally, and only use a wormer if there's actually a problem. You may never need to use any wormer, or it may need to be done often. You only should consider worming in an active infestation.

I've used Nilverm and Valbazen. Valbazen is the closest you can get to Flubenvet- which doesnt' sell here. I get it from Jeffer's.

Welcome to BYC!
There is no withdrawal on it in the UK, but there is here.

But I'm sure 'snake oil' must be good for something!?!
