Where do you live?

There are only two visible worms you will find in poo, roundworms and tapeworms. This is not a roundworm so it must be a tapeworm. Albendazole (Valbazen) will kill all worms at a dose of three ml per day for five days for a large peacock. Repeat in ten days to get the hatching eggs.

Since the peacock has lost a lot of weight, I suggest de-worming him by weight, and for tapes, I would give praziquantel at 5-10 mg per pound and repeat in 10-14 days. I would probably give albendazole (Valbazen) too at 0.08 ml per pound for 3 days.
