Had to take my hen to the vet today, still don't know what's wrong with her.

So how does one know which drug it is? And the mg?

I'm the same... Why would anyone buy a product as vague as that? According to the label, it's a benzimidazole, which means it could be it could be mebendazole, flubendazole, fenbendazole, oxfendazole, oxibendazole, albendazole, albendazole sulfoxide, thiabendazole, thiophanate, febantel, netobimin or triclabendazole (from the Merck Manual). And how would someone worm a 300 gram chicken? I'll stick to properly labeled products, lol.

Okay, now I'm curious. I want to know more about this:

Wormazole 500 capsules


Item# 07worm500
$80.00


Product Description

Wormazole 500 capsules

I used the liquid since the capsules are quite large. I use 6 drops for a 4-6 lb bird. It has a wide safety margin so if you go over the recommended amount, it won't harm the bird. It takes care of tape, capillary, gape, round,cecal, and eye worms effecting fowl. Not many wormers can claim elimination of that many.

There's some stuff put out by Dr. Blues (Breco) called Neobicide marketed as a topical taking care of external as well as internal parasites in birds simply because it has Ivermectin in it. Overpriced. No thanks.

Some people may have a problem buying from companies that market to the fighting cock enthusiasts. I don't care for the "sport" myself and would never put a bird through that. They do sell supplements/medications designed to keep birds, under enormous stress from injury or disease, alive. Some of these are not available from the run-of-the-mill poultry supply companies. Some of these companies marketing products to the new chicken owner who views them as pets, can be taken advantage of by being sold some real garbage product. I'm sure they exist in the gamecock world as well.

I'm sure it works just fine, but from what I can see looking at the bottle on the website, it does NOT say what the active ingredient is, nor does it list the mg of that active ingredient, so how would one dose a small bird accurately? And by small, I mean 100-300 grams. And yes, I've had to dose birds that small, some smaller.

Michael Apple, If Wormazole is actually albendazole (Valbazen), why would one buy it? Per ounce, it's way more expensive than Valbazen. One ounce of Wormazole for $17 versus 16.9 ounces (500ml) of Valbazen for $49.95 ($41.75 at Valley Vet).
