Histomoniasis: Yellow Urate & Lethargy in Poult...

[Eggcessive]

I just went to order some of this but it's pretty expensive. I found the same active ingredients in a powder form for a lot cheaper, from jedds called "wormer deluxe powder".

Thanks, that is a good find!

I'm trying to figure how many days of each medication Jake has received so far!!! I should've wrote them all out. I've gotta read back through my thread... surely/hopefully I commented when I started each new medication.

I would ask @casportpony to doublecheck the dosage of the wormer deluxe powder from Jedds and the Wormout Gel. I think that pigeons and chickens get a different concentration. I think that chickens get a concentration twice as strong as pigeons. If the Wormer Deluxe Powder is 1 tsp a gallon for pigeons, it may be 2 tsp per gallon for chickens. It also says to repeat dosage in 21 days.

Safeguard Goat Wormer 0.6ml given 2/24.
(0.23ml/lb, repeat in 10d) Repeat dose due 3/5.

Metronidazole/praziquantel (API General Cure) 1/4 packet started orally 2/25. Daily doses=3.
Fish-zole (metronidazole) 1/4 tab started 2/28. Daily doses=3.
(Suppose to be x5d)

Baytril 10% orally started 2/27.
Doses through 3/3.
Dose 10mg/kg-15mg/kg
(Twice Daily x5d)

Corid 9.6% 0.25ml orally twice daily x2d, then 2.5ml per quart drinking water....started on 2/28. (As suggested by @casportpony "Normal treatment is 5-7 days in the water, then another 7-14 days at 1/4 the amount in the water".)


This post is mainly for my record.

Hey Kathy (@casportpony) , what do you think about the wormer and dosages for chickens?

Hey Kathy (@casportpony) , what do you think about the wormer and dosages for chickens?

The wormout gel dose is 47 ml per gallon for two days. The gel is 20 mg per ml.
47 x 20 = 940 mg per gallon.

If the powder is 10% (100 mg per gram), and a teaspoon probably weighs 3 grams, so that's 300 grams per teaspoon, which is not enough for poultry. You will need 10 grams per gallon for two days, then repeat in 10-14 days.

edited to add:
The literature says one teaspoon weighs five grams, but I suspect they lie.
