Help-Metronidazole water dose?

You know. I bet you can't get rid of all the parasites so... I'm wondering if they can be sequestered in the liver

As I understand it the combo of metronidazole and de-wormer kills the parasites. If it didn't, then my treated birds would just infect my non-treated birds, yes?

Ee gads.
I've explained to buyers that if they keep their turkeys with chickens they will have higher than expected losses.
Ahem.
I lost a bunch of sales that way.
But a lot of folks keep their turkeys w their chickens. So, I don't worry about my Toms. But my hens will have issues.

IDK. I have an unifected Tom rooming with a hen right now.

Well, an apparently unaffected Tom rooming with a hen. I bet there is some parasite load, but bit enough to make him Ill.

I've read this 4 times now. This is very complex. It's a flagellate. It's an amoeba. It's an intestinal parasite and finally a liver invader. Also, you have secondary bacterial infections.
Ee gads. I can't think of any human infection as complicated.
