Lethargic goose

There are injectible wormers but the kind they’re talking about is oral, not injectible.
I don’t know the dosage for ivermectin but geese and chickens can also be wormed with fendbendazole “safeguard horse paste” and albendazole.

The dosage for SafeGuard is 0.25 ml once a day for 5 days to kill most types of worms except tapeworms.

The dosage for albendazole is 0.08 ml once, repeat in 10 days to kill whatever parasites have hatched.

I suggest buying some 6 cc to 12 cc syringes, something like these https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ideal-instruments-12cc-luer-lock-syringe?cm_vc=-10005 to draw the paste out of the wormer tube “if that’s what you’re going to use” to get the exact dosage and then administer it to your bird.

Note that cc is the same as ml “milileters.”

This is how to safely administer oral liquid meds to a bird, it’s important not to get it down the wrong tube or they could aspirate https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...dications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/

Just correcting this because I made a mistake

It’s 0.25 per pound for SafeGuard once a day for 5 days

And 0.08 ml per pound for albendazole once, repeat in 10 days.

Albendazole is fairly pricey in comparison to safeguard also but it’s fairly effective.
