CONFUSED ON Ivermectin pour-on!! Help please

[sonew123]

from my understanding it is for external and internal parasites-lice-mites-worms etc... NOT tape worms though- So Id rather go for something that will do the whole shibang and not have to use a bunch of different things-I plan on doing 2x a year whether I see things or suspect things-just to be on the safe side

The gurus recommend that if more than 6 months has passed by since a worming, to use Wazine first, followed 2-4 weeks later with Ivermectin. It is easier on the birds.

LOL, I changed it when I could not find a link in the 'search'. I had to go look at my bottle. Thanks.

It's actually called Wazine.

Do you know if it will get gapeworm?

 

[mdbokc]

gapeworm is a roundworm and Wazine is for roundworms as I recall.

Of course, there are different kinds of roundworms.

OK, Wikipedia says Ivermectin controls gapeworm.

Ummm......are you sure????? I thought gapeworms were something all by themselves. Don't round worm stay in the gut and more or less the lower part of the digestive system. Gapes get up in the throat and can suffocate the chicken.
