Bird gapeworms help?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a respiratory disease. Vet Rx is not much of a treatment, just some herbal oils. Some diseases are from a virus such as bronchitis. Others such as MG or coryza, may be treated with antibiotics, but the respiratory disease will always be present in the chicken‘s body for life.

I understand that you think your chicken has gapeworm and not a respiratory disease, but I would urge you to give the dosage that treats gapeworm in my post 2 above. The SafeGuard horse paste or the goat wormer are both 10% fenbendazole.

Tractor Supply has both SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer and the SafeGuard Equine Wormer. Panacur Equine Wormer is the same thing, and the dosage is 1/4 ml per pound orally for 5 straight days. An average chicken weighs about 5 pounds, roosters more. That would be 1 and 1/4 ml, about a fourth of a teaspoonful.
Here is a picture of the horse paste:

Can you show us a picture of what you gave? If you gave a wormer the same as SafeGuard, you should use that for 4 more days.

Zimecterin Gold contains Ivermectin and Praziquantel. The Ivermectin will treat gapeworms. Praziquantel treats tapeworms.

Generally, if one bird has gapeworms, most likely other birds will have gapeworms as well. That's due to the fact that gapeworms eggs can be picked up and eaten directly from the soil by a chicken or an infected insect was eaten by a chicken.
Gapeworms are lodged in the trachea, you cant see them and you wont see them excreted in feces.
The ONLY way to verify there are gapeworms present is to have a fecal sample taken from the bird in question to a vet, and have them look for gapeworm eggs on a microscopic slide. Then you'll know for sure if your bird has gapeworms.
Get a fresh fecal sample from your bird and put it in a ziplock bag and take it to any vet and tell them you want them to look for gapeworm eggs under a microscope, or any kind of worm eggs for that matter. It shouldnt cost much.
Let us know the results and if it's not gapeworms, we'll go from there.
