Granny's gone and done it again

I just wormed all my chickies not too long ago - and when I was cleaning my poop boards this morning I found a slimy poop with a big ol' scary roundworm in it! Do I need to worm everybody again???

Pshaw, not in a bazillion years, lol! I used to clean for a disabled gal that had 20 or 30 of em. Dear girl, lovely ferrets, but man! Did they stink! No thank you!


Cool, have fun! Take all the wooden nickles you can collect!

Thanks!!!! And what? LOL

Probably

How often have you bought these?
We used Seresto collars for years because my JRT had extreme flea allergies. The collars were the only thing that worked, they kept the fleas outside (due to neighbors) from jumping on him and biting in the first place, which was all it took for him to have a terrible reaction.

However, on a few occasions we did get duds. It happened more often on Amzn. We got them replaced most of those times without issue. One time, the collars were completely ineffective and the return window had closed... my mom got very upset and called up Bayer to see if they would honor a manufacturers warranty. They had her read the lot numbers off the tin, and stopped her halfway through. Those are not real lot numbers! they said. They had been having a ton of trouble with imported knockoffs. The dupe copied everything, including the look of the metal tin and labeling, to a T. We had been buying them for years so we had some old tins laying around to compare. Bayer said they were struggling to get the dupes taken off of Amzn and other internet retailers sites, and as soon as they got one down another popped up. They said the only way to avoid them is to buy in person from the brick & mortar, not any internet version of a store as the products can be fulfilled from a third party. If you have any doubt, call Bayer up to see.

I got mine on eBay. Maybe that is why they didn't work. What I have now is working but it also gave her chocolate pudding. It took her appetite away and she wants my lap today. I wanted a flea collar so they don't have to ingest these strong meds

I have never wormed ours, albeit the SLM Ivermectin treatment might have if they'd had any. If I saw that, they'd all be getting it!

There's one particular brand, maybe you know it, that they say you shouldn't use back to back though.

I would try some probiotics. A little bit of yogurt would probably help. Otherwise, if you have some probiotic powder for water, that would work too. I'd do it for a few days or so. Never hurts either.

No, haven't needed it. We've used diatomaceous earth monthly for years to avoid them, and for the SLM, Ivermectin 5%

How do you apply it?

People used to say, Don't take any wooden nickles. Means don't get scammed. But sometimes at fairs they give away wooden nickles as souvenirs. Collect em if you can!

Wooden nickles*, sorry, typos.
