Fecal Report back, my Vet is Unavailable - Can anyone translate this?

[cocoloco]

I finally got the fecal sample report back - but my avian vet is off today and the on-call is not an Avian vet and cannot, legally, read it for me. They forwarded it to me, however. Can anyone tell me what this means:

I think... it looks like some roundworm eggs were found. And that the sample was also tested for giardia but that was negative.
If I'm right, you would want to worm your entire flock with something like wazine (piperazine) or safeguard (fenbendazole). There is a 14 days egg withdrawal period for both.
Like I said. I'm only guessing. Let's see what the more experienced folks think!

It looks to me like they found a few capillary worm eggs or larvae in the fecal sample. Capillary worms, also called threadworms, are treated with SafeGard Liquid Goat Wormer 1/4 ml per pound of weight given for 5 straight days. I believe you can also use Valbazen 0.08 ml per pound for 3 days. @dawg53 or @casportpony can verify that.

Worms were found

@Eggcessive @Sue Gremlin @casportpony

I believe that means Capillary worms, but could be wrong.

I believe you can use ivermectin 1/4 cc for standard size birds but others can verify this info

It appears to me that your chicken is negative for Giardia, and has very few other parasites tested for present. Just curious why did you test for parasites?

 

[dawg53]

Follow the instructions as given by @Eggcessive. Valbazen or Safeguard will take care of capillary worms pronto. Give it orally to all your chickens. If one bird had them, so will the others.

 

[sylviethecochin]

Do you even want to worm, for that small a load?

I'm assuming this is for the same hen you posted about here?
