Is Valbazen 2nd treatment in 10 or 14 days ?

[Jenbirdee]

I have read to repeat Valbazen in 10 days and also read it should be 14 days. Which?

10 days. If something happened and the second one was delayed, 14 would probably be OK, but 10 days is the recommended spacing.

Ok thanks so much. Do you know also the recommended spacing for permethrin ? ( spray for lice)

Weekly intervals until you've gotten them all. Usually at least 3 times, the eggs can continue to hatch. Also remove and replace all bedding and nesting material each time. Treat the birds and the coop. Lice tend to stay more on the birds than mites do, but if you don't get rid of them all they will just keep coming back.

Yes thanks so much

I weighed them first , they are 7 lbs (each) so I multiplies 7 x .08 ml (which is 0.56 ml so I did 0.6) and I put it on a little square of bread, one for each.. (had to make sure one bird didnt eat both lol) . but yeah they like the taste I guess cuz they ate it right up!
""Dosage is 0.08 ml per pound given orally once, and again in 10-14 days""

You would be better off giving tapeworm infected birds Equimax Equine paste which contains praziquantel which will kill the tapeworms. Valbazen wont kill tapeworms due to tapeworm resistance to the Albendazole (Valbazen) in poultry.
I've dealt with tapeworms in chickens many times.
Valbazen will take care of all types of poultry roundworms and is my go to wormer.

Equimax paste dosage is 0.03ml per pound given orally , or 0.15ml given orally to a 5 pound hen.
