Ivermectin or fenbendazole paste for Gape Worm

[Molbaygun]

My seabright banty roo has gape worm. Every post I read is different. First I read to use fenbendazole paste now I'm reading to use Ivermectin! I've treated for 2 days with fenbendazole paste. He does not seem to be getting any better and I am seriously thinking I will lose him soon. What is the right thing to use and when do you typically see results!! I am desperate! Can I dose him with the Ivermectin if that's what he needs? HELP!

So sorry to hear about your little banty roo. I hope someone comes along to offer some advice.


We are having a discussion about Ivermectin on another thread. I wish that I could help you but I'm just as confused as you.

Ivermectin pour on will kill gapeworm...3 drops on bare skin, on the back of the neck. To check for gapeworm; use a Q-tip and gently stick it one inch down its throat, gently swab and pull it out. If you see a red in color "Y" shaped worm(s) on the Q-tip...you'll have your answer.

Wondering, does anyone know if this would be the only dose needed? I noticed dawg53 has not been on here for quite awhile.
