Hello all!
So I actually saw tiny white worms in one of my girl’s poop today (small enough I had to look very closely to confirm ). I purchased some Safeguard for goats (fenbendazole) a while back and FINALLY found a suggested treatment dose (3 cc/mL per gallon of water). I also watched a video somewhere where the lady said the first time you treat your flock you should use something gentle so they don‘t get overloaded.
SO, my question is: should it be safe to treat them with the liquid Safeguard at the 3cc/mL per gallon, or should I cut that dose in half this first time around? Also, I was going to clean out their water buckets and give them fresh water with the Safeguard, then clean them out and re-dose two days later (so fresh dose them Monday, then refresh again on Wednesday).
Any thoughts or opinions? I’m just paranoid I’m going to overdose my chickens and kill them or not give them enough to fix the problem. Thanks!!
