Dosage help! Anyone use these All Bird products? (Water-soluble wormer and antibiotic)

I think the testing for it is $15.00 at my state lab.
Find your state lab here:
Necropsy and disease testing lab info
And give them a call.

They're who I brought samples to do the fecals on the two hens with loose stool. But how do they do blood tests? Do they come out to you? Bring the bird to them? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I only know how horses, dogs, and cats (sort of) work. Still figuring out the chickens.

This might be the article that your vet read, and it has various times of the lifecycle of worms, but they also talk about using DE and give some incorrect or outdated info on treatments. I do like that they explain the types of worms and give more details than most articles about chicken worms:

Author recommends 3 weeks in between treatments!

MG is a tracheal swap.

MG is a tracheal swap.

I've been all through the state lab website for VA, and also checked MD, and still don't understand exactly how to get this done. In MD, only someone from the state lab or a vet can do a tracheal swab. I guess I'll call the state lab here in Warrenton to find out how exactly to get this test done.

A NPIP tester should be able to do it for a fee. The charges vary state to state including travel time.

Here in Texas A NPIP tester is only allowed to test for PT.

I am a tester.

Right, it varies state to state as well. I know they're allowed to in Georgia, not sure here in Florida.

Oh crud, everyone. It's all gone to poop. Yesterday half of their mash (where they get their fenbendazole) got wasted, as two dishes (I put out four) had water get into them. In addition, due to all of the rain we had yesterday, they have puddles galore to drink from. And to top it all of, this was Rocket's better eye this afternoon:

I quickly gave him 1.5 cc of Tylan 50 and 1.5 of Fenbendazole (it turns out if my son holds a bird, I can bend down to administer meds - I just can't sit with them in my lap). Both of those are slightly lower doses than his weight calls for, but how much mash and water has he consumed? I don't know.

So it's back to oral meds. Based on what they've been given thus far: one night of Tylan 50 and fenbendazole orally, BOTH at .25 ml/lb., one morning of Tylan 50 orally, nothing that evening or next day, 5 days (4/9 - 4/13) of the total oral dose for 11 birds, which totals 15 ml of fenbendazole diluted and added to 4 cups mash, and 2 days of Doxy/Tyl added to water (4/11 and 4/12 - didn't make it up again today after seeing rooster).

I'm sorry! I know this is a lot! But giving oral meds now - how many more days of .25 ml/lb of fenbendazole?

How many days of Tylan 50 (I also have Liquamycin LA 200 and Baytril, but would prefer to save the big guns)?

Thank you in advance, and I'm so sorry to be such a needy newbie!

Are you giving the Tylan 3-4 times a day?
