Opinions on worm load?

you and your horse stuff lol

Most all of the medications are the exact same thing when it comes to animals.
Horse paste is easy to use and cheaper than a whole bottle of the same medicine.

This is true. Ok which horse paste do I get. I’ll pick some up tomorrow. I have to go to the Sardinia Tsc because WU doesn’t have the other thing I need.

Get you a thing of horse paste.

For the rabbit or a chicken?

I'm telling her to get it for both.

The liquid for goats is *much* less expensive.
Five tubes of paste (25 ml each/25 grams each) = one bottle of goat liquid (125 ml).

Ok maybe I worded it wrong.
One tube of paste is cheaper than one bottle, if you only need to use just a little.

I found this about de-worming rabbits with fenbendazole:
20 mg/kg fenbendazole daily for 9 consecutive days.
That works out to 0.09 ml per pound for nine days.

Was just reading your worming article. I get panacur for "free" as part of my vet health plan with the rabbits. They insist on giving me two tubes a year per bun, even though latest research indicates it should not be used routinely, but only when there are symptoms. I just save it up and ship it off to rescues, keeping a few back for myself. But if it can be used off-label on the chickens that's great. Flubenvet ain't cheap! Seems that the equine and rabbit pastes are both 18.75% so no maths required either.

Will get a test done anyway, and treat according to vet's advice, but thereafter could use the panacur for the six monthlies.

May I ask what you recommended dosing amount is with the Panacur?

One tube of paste is $12
One bottle of liquid is $29

One tube of paste will not treat that many chickens.

@casportpony yup, those are pretty damn impressive. Interesting that the parrot was kept with other birds, but it was the only one with a heavy load. Weak immune response, I guess?
