Fenbendazole granule 22.2% dosage for Chickens?

She is 3 months old. I have not weighed her

It needs to be given by weight. Can you take it back, then go to Tractor Supply and get some liquid Safeguard for goats? That will be a lot easier to give.

Unless one knows the density of the granules and the math to convert it, they will have to be weighed with a milligram scale to give the proper dose. The suspension or paste would be easier to give the right dose.

You can weigh yourself on a human scale, then weigh with the chicken and subtract.

I already opened it. I think it was 222 mg/g.

It is, but to give it you will need to weigh your gosling. It cannot be used unless you get a weight.

If you grind up the granules, add 20 ml of water, stir well, you will have a liquid that equals approximately 110 mg per ml.

It was a powder. I think I poisoned my goose.
I have her a pack.

I had to do something. I already lost her sister. And she is completely lame.

Ok I think I have figured it out. My parasitology book says 50 mg/kg of fenbenzadole for poultry. 1 packet is 1 gram which is approx. 222mg/g. If she weighs 4 pounds then that would take 200 mg. She did not eat every little bit so she should be fine.

4 pounds = 1.82 kg
1.82 kg x 50 = 91 mg

So she got twice what she should have, but that's okay, fenbendazole is pretty safe.

Can you take a video of her walking, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo then copy and paste the link here?

Can you also tell us what you are feeding her?
