Safeguard or Valbazen work much better than Ivermectin. Worm her again if she starts improving then give her a chance.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

is that what i used? the ivermectin? can i get the other at tsc?

You can get Safeguard in the horse section of TSC. Give a pea sized dolup on a tiny piece of bread. Repeat in 12 days. It will take care of everything except tapeworms. Tapes are not all that common however.

It comes in a tube. It is paste.

i will pick some up tomorrow and give it a try. i have to go to town anyway.

You might want to do the entire flock too. If one has worms, normally so do the others.

i bought safe guard today, for goats. (sigh) it is a liquid. gonna have to find some dosing info. on a sad note i found spazz today stuck between the ladder and the wall. he is pretty bad off. looks like the chickens either tore him up or he struggled for a while. both wings , head, and under the wings are bloodied and he will not walk. he also has bubbles in his eyes. he did drink a bit when i offered but he is laying in his own poop. i think i am going to have to do the unthinkable. when it rains, it pours. hu?

Sorry about your rooster Granny. SafeGuard liquid goat wormer is great, and has a dosage of 1/4 to 1/2 ml depending on bantam or regular chicken, then repeat in 10 days. Toss all eggs for a total of 24 days. For certain worms such as gapeworm or cecal worms that cause blackhead, higher doses are given for several days in a row. So it's hard to overdose.
