Medication Question. Please help.

I have a chicken that eats like crazy but loosing weight. She is not gaining it. Well, someone suggested that she has a parasite. They suggested giving her “Valbazen”.
The question is
What is the dosage for a chicken?

I saw that it was for cattle. I just don’t wanna overdose them.

0.08 ml/cc per pound of bird.
At 0.5 ml you were dosing each bird as if they were close to 6/7 pounds.

As found on here. Its says some soak put it on bread and let dry and then feed being careful to watch for snatching chickens that have already had theirs. Need a 1 ml syringe

She is a Old English Game Bird Bantam. I don’t even think she is 3 pounds. What doses would you recommend me for her?

 

[TwoChicksChix]

Maybe not quite .24 cc, otherwise you might give too much if she’s as light as you say.

 

[MasterOfAllChickens111]

How much .cc would you give a OEGB?

 

[TwoChicksChix]

It really depends on their weight, not necessarily the breed. .08 cc per pound. So for 3 pounds not quite .25. For 6 not quite .5 etc.

Do I give it orally?
