Fenbendazole dosing question

[Sequel]

I need to treat my flock for roundworms. I want to dose individually, I only have four and one is molting. I have been searching threads for days and am so confused! I’d like to dose for the 5 day no egg withdrawal dose, but I think I might need a smaller syringe. @casportpony or anyone who knows could you help me? This is what I have. I weighed the birds yesterday. 2 are 5 pounds and one is a hair under 4 pounds. The lighter one is the one most affected I believe, she has not laid an egg for two weeks since flirting with broodiness. I think.

I dont think you are supposed to give Fenbendazole during a molt because of feather damage, sorta remembering.

 

[casportpony]

Yeah, not supposed to use fenbendazole or similar drugs during mol t because they can cause defects in the feathers.

Here is the actual zero day safeguard mash method:

That only works for roundworms.

I think 0.23 ml of paste orally once per day for 5 consecutive days is what is used.@casportpony @dawg53

If You want to do the five day zero day withdrawal:

Paste or liquid, it is the same amount.

and cecal worms, not capillary worms.

Thanks you are correct! That’s why I’m doing them individually rather than mixing it in a mash. I ended up putting about a half a pea sized glop in the little syringe and put about a raindrop size blob on pieces of bread to see if they’d eat it. They loved it. It’s Apple cinnamon flavored. I’m hoping I get some direction as to dosage before tomorrow, I don’t know why I’m being so thick in the head about this!

that will get almost all worms, but will require egg withdrawal.
