HELP please! My buff orpington is sick AGAIN

If Wazine is the only wormer you've tried, you might want to try something like Safeguard or Valbazen since Wazine only works on roundworms. If she were mine and didn't look like she was about to die I would worm her 5 days in a row with Safeguard just in case she had capillary worms. One dose of Valbazen would take care of those according to what I've read.

The photo you provided in post #30 of the worm; did you notice if it was flat and had segments? If so, it's tapeworms you're dealing with and that's why nothing is working for your bird. I tried looking at the photo with a magnifying glass and couldnt tell if it had segments or not.

It did not... It was a threadworm (used SafeGuard). That was the only time I spotted them.

Yeah I used SafeGuard (forgot to put it on the list).. Thanks!
 
Should I dust her again with Sevin-5 or does the medication take a couple days? Would it be too much for her if I dust her again today?

From everything I've read, thread worms, aka capillary worms, need to be treated with a pretty high dose of Safeguard for five days in a row. The amount I have been using is .5ml per 2.2 pounds for five days (50mg/kg), but this is not something I have cleared with my vet. One study I read showed decent efficacy when dosed at 100mg/kg once, but again, that's something I want to talk to my vet about.
