Hi all,
There is so much great information about deworming chickens on this site, but I am having trouble with finding information on ducks. Specifically an oral application, not in-water dosing.
I recently sent in fecal samples for both my chickens and ducks and both came back positive for tapeworm (I have also seen tapeworm in my duck’s pool). I have already treated the chickens with Equimax paste, but had read somewhere that you can’t use that in ducks.
Can anyone tell me if that is the case? If I can use it, is the dosing the same as the chickens? (I feel like ducks metabolize meds faster?) I am also happy to pick up Safeguard, but I have read that it doesn’t work well on all kinds of tapeworm…
As always, thank you to this wonderful community for the support
