I feel terrible that she’s been unable to walk since early this year. And I thought it was niacin. I feel awful. I should have done more research. I still have not been able to purchase and actual medication. If I do order any type of meds like safeguard it’s for horses and the other one says for human use and im not sure what dosage I’d give her. What is the #1 thing that I should purchase because you guys have said a few different ones and they are quite pricey as I did just spend 70$ on natural crap. I’m going to check her now. I didn’t see any maggots or anything back there. She is just stained from poop because she is sitting in the same spot all night. She just drags herself around. At first she was getting sores on her feet from not walking I had to buy ointment and shoes for her. I really just want her to get better and I can’t really afford a vet right now or I’d take her in a heartbeat. I need her to get better!!!

So I just discovered my duck has worms. She hasn’t been walking for a few months so she has been extra high maintenance from taking her out of the house putting her in the pool and putting her back home. I hold her up with a towel and let her use her feet to walk like physical therapy. Oh the things I do for my babies. I thought it was niacin so I’ve had her on niacin for about 3 months now. It did help her gain weight but she keeps losing it and gaining it back. I saw worms for the first time yesterday. I did research and found out that that may be the reason she hasn’t been walking. I can not get ivermectin without a script or flubendazole I think it’s called. I ordered VermX from Britain but it’s not going to come for another month. It has great reviews. I also ordered “the poultry store dewormer” . Both of which are all natural ingredients. But again they both have amazing reviews. Is there anything else anyone can recommend besides meds that are hard to get to help get the worms out of my girl so she can walk again? Thanks!!

OK. So I’m going to order this Pyrantel online. Is it a one time treatment? Also, as one of you said to treat my other ducks. Even if they don’t have worms is this safe to use on them as well?

No, do not get that, it does not treat all worms that poultry get.

It works against internal parasites--specifically against roundworms, Capillaria, and Hetarakis

For the pyrantel pamoate, I do not think this is true. Can you find some studies that show it's efficacy in treating poultry worms?

As @casportpony advised, Albendazole has a wider spectrum of activity in ducks -- it treats other worms that ducks can have

Bang for the buck this is it, but it's close to $50 plus shipping.
