Penguin seems sick

[SolarDuck]

They definitely have less fleas on them every day, Penguin doesn't have any but I gave her a light coat of permethrin as a bug spray so they don't jump back on her, I counted 3 each on Karen and Pipsqueak, I think if I keep it up like this I will get rid of them. If I did decide to go the ivermectin route, what type of ivermectin and how much of it would I use?

@casportpony said the Ivermectin won’t work on fleas

I tried it once and it did work.

I thought casport said it did work

I tried it once and it *did* work.

You can use the horse paste, but it's very concentrated. Gove 0.024 ml per pound of bodyweight. (0.12 ml per five pounds).

Okay if I'm still seeing any fleas in 2 days I will definitely do this.

No she does not seem to have any foot injuries just seems weak I set her up for the night in my room and gave her 2 water cups one with a poultry vitamin and one normal water

In more humorous news I understand why you named her penguin, best of luck to you, I don’t deal with ducks so I really don’t know what to tell you

What about liquid Ivermentci and putting it on the skin at the neck similar to the stuff we use for our dogs?

As of today I looked at all of them very closely and wasn't able to find a single flea!!
I went ahead and rubbed them all down with permethrin anyway and I will check again tomorrow just to be sure. I'm gonna keep up spraying the run down with the permethrin for a few more days. Penguin is eating and she seems to be pretty much back to 100% I am very thankful for everybody who helped me through these hard times, watching her so sick was definitely one of the more stressful times of my life. I'm so happy she pulled through and really thank you everyone that helped!!
