personally in this case and because you can pick her up etc, I would get febendazole because that kills all worms, but not the lice. try panacure ( seems to be the less expensive) and just put some in her mouth that way you Know she got it. Ok, so then abut 10 days later then put your ivermectin drops on her back. I gave liquid febendazole to some almost wild hens I have and the worms that came out was pititful. Last owner did not believe in worming or de licing btw. Im currently trying to find out how to de lice hens I can not touch. I figure if they were this wormy then they must also have lice.Thank you so much, the both of you! Your wealth of knowledge is phenomenal and whole heartedly appreciated!
Must the drench be administered orally? Does it have to be the cattle pour on to do the skin contact drop method? The absolutely adorable old guy said to use the oral as drops on the back of my ladies necks would do the trick, and with such a tricky dose, even though I do have a some syringes small enough to get a correct dose, I know I've read somewhere that chickens are very sensitive to the oral treatment and there were a few words of caution and bolded warnings after that... So I want to be doubly sure of what I'm doing!
AND the poor little ball of fluff also has round worms. Will the Ivormec take care of those as well, with the same dosage? Or is that an application of Safeguard at the same time, before the ivermec, or after a certain length of time?
She is perking- up a good deal after a spa day and some proper feedings, but the last thing I want is to overload her with a cocktail of chemicals on top of everything else she's going through without a little bit of expert guidance! Thanks again!
