We use the Ivermectin on the dogs but as I understand that can be fatal to Collies and some other breeds. Wazine I don't know about, yet.

It really isn't my intention to worm the dog, but since she drinks from the same container, she is going to consume it - and if I move her for a day or two she will likely dig out under the fence that she doesn't think is electrified and run off.

She is a Great Pyranees

Just found this in the Merck Manual.


Piperazine is rapidly absorbed from the GI tract, and piperazine base can be detected in the urine as early as 30 min after administration. The excretion rate is maximal at 1-8 hr, and excretion is practically complete within 24 hr. The spectrum of activity of piperazine is largely against ascarid parasites in all animal species (including humans). The safety margin is wide.

Sounds like it won't hurt a 110 lb dog to drink water that has Wazine at the rate necessary to worm the chickens. Thank you!!!

One more question - Will the Wazine hurt turkeys or ducks? I have another group that consists primarily of turkeys, guineas and ducks and a few chickens. They free range so I don't think their worm load is likely to be too bad, although they do tear into the cow patties. Since I learned that medicated chick starter can kill ducks, I don't know whether all medications are harmful to ducks.

Thank you very much for your research. Now, I just need to get another bottle of Wazine. I looked at the bottle to read the dosage and realized it expired in 2006. Nothing like keeping meds on hand and never using them

I'm still waiting on word on the Shamos. At shawnee there should be some black Giants for sale from a very good breeder. I got a 6mo cockerel from him that weighed 13 pounds and matured out at 15. A big friendly boy.
