New here

[Tstonewall]

I’m new here and have had chickens since the beginning of COVID currently I have 7 girls. I also have 4 ducks. They are my problem children. One has tapeworms and am looking desperately for advice on treatments that work. We did the vet(not specialized in fowl but consulted a specialist) with praziquantel tablets. Helped and she gained weight. Retreated 14 days later. Now a couple months later and I’m seeing tapeworm sheddings in her stool. This is my son’s emotional support duck. He takes her to the stream for daily swims. She goes everywhere! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

So I am thinking 14 days is a little late. I need to retreat after 10 days when you use praziquantel but I don’t know if that’s the problem or not I will look for you in the duck forum and try to help
