Ivermectin paste...

[Hoosiermomma]

Can you use ivermectin paste as a wormer for peafowl? I have a tube that I am using for my rabbits and was wondering if I could use it for them too. If so what dose would I give? I give a pea sized drop for my rabbits.

If not then I guess I'll go get the ivermectin liquid.

im not sure . i know ivermectine labled fopr swine is safe for birds, they have it in injectable and in a powder (less common and called ivomec powder). i know rabbits and poultry can share a lot of common diseases. now if you really want to go organic with deworming try dusting your bird in diatomaceous earth. its been effective for centuries.

When I've used paste I'd also give like a pea size dose.
I also rotate with Safeguard goat dewormer 1cc per grown peafowl

Thanks for the info. I haven't bought the safeguard yet but plan to do so for our dogs and soon to be pair of goats.

When giving ivermectin and safeguard to chickens how long before you can eat the eggs again?

I believe the standard wait time for most drugs is a month. The safeguard is good to use for peafowl because safeguard is Panacure, which they use to prevent black head disease when they are on the same property as chickens.
