Need dosage info for Ivermectin juvenile peachicks

[blesseddgh]

I have three 10 week old peachicks. One is acting a little lethargic. My farm store sold me injectable Ivermectin and told me to worm them by giving a few drops orally. I’m a newbie and a little uncomfortable giving injectable solution orally and “how many drops” and only one dose? Feedback please. Thank you.

I gave 2 microliters of 2% injectable solution to my rabbit for an internal parasite, if that helps at all

I would hold off on the ivermectin as it's really only good for treating lice. Can you post some pictures of the peachick and it's poop?

Just checked on my peachick and he expired! I’m just sick! I got four peachicks 10 weeks ago. The first died a couple of weeks ago and the other 3 have seemed fine till yesterday when I noticed the lethargy. I added apple cider vinegar to their water and now the second died this afternoon. The two remaining seem healthy. I don’t know why ???? Have been feeding high protein medicated gamebird feed. Giving warm water fresh daily. They are inside out of drafts with dry bedding. ?????

Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss : hugs How old were they when you got them?

Picked them up at the hatcheries at two days old. Seemed very healthy.

Where do they live now?

They have an enclosed house and I use pine flakes for bedding. No drafts.
