Fenbendazole

[aworldintime]

Ok so I was told to give them 10-50mg per kg of duck. All I have is a ml dropper. How do I do this lol. I want to give it by mouth.

Seems to me there should be information with the fenbendazole stating how many mg are in a ml of the suspension.

For example, this is from a Heartland Vet Supply site: Panacur is a 10% suspension of fenbendazole as a ready to administer oral anthelmintic for cattle, sheep and horses. 1 ml contains 100 mg active ingredient fenbendazole.

Welcome to BYC! Where exactly does it say this?

This is what I have:

High end of chicken dose in 3 sources I listed was 20mg/kg. 1mg/kg daily cleared my chick with Tapeworm, taenia sp. after 4 days
