Help- overdosed peachick with SafeGuard!

[msmolly]

I was trying to worm peachicks, Peahen and chickens, and my brain short circuited. I gave a 1# peachick almost 1 ml of safeguard instead of .23 ml. What do I do????

Was it pour on or oral?

Oral with syringe into mouth

I have some ideas but @casportpony would probably have better advice since I rarely medicate.

I tried calling Kathy directly and left message. I,m feeding them everything from Mac n cheese, to mealworms to try and absorb it. Would welcome any ideas. Seems okay so far.

You can settle down, it is not enough to hurt it.

You'll be fine. Safeguard has a low toxicity. With most medicines and poisons to get it out of their system you would usually flush the system with water or use another medicine to counter act it. Since Safeguard has a low toxicity, chances of the chick being harmed by it are very low.

It will be fine. And the good news is, that amount is very likely to treat capillary worms. BTW, when did you call?

@msmolly , look, it's the only wormer that doesn't list death.
