Where can I get the praziquantel at?

No she acts weak. He said 1/2 cc for every 5lbs. She is 6lbs so she has lost weight

That's about 20mg/kg, which is less than I use. If she is weak, I would suggest that you place her in a warm room and once warm, start tubing warmed fluids to her. The white in her urates could mean that she is moderately dehydrated. Can you tube?

You might be able to find it at petsmart or petco in the cat/dog sections. Dose for a 6 pound hen is about 27mg. I think I saw somwthing like this at petsmart:

I have watched all your videos so I can try. What can I give her in the tube?

Could this poop be caused just from a tape worm?

I would start with just pedialyte and Safeguard.

Here are the tape tabs:

Your vet might have a reason for giving her Safeguard instead of Praziquantel, so talk to him before giving it.

And possibly dehydration. Did he check for bacteria?

Go to petsmart and get 20" of aquarium air line, the praziquantel tabs (~27mg worth) and Kaytee baby bird food.
Go to tractor supply and get a 60ml syringe.
Go to any store that sells infant food and get a couple of bottle of pedialyte.
