I'll have to get them on the scale. They HATE it.

Also, is it ok to do the safeguard right after the corid? They just finished yesterday and I gave them probiotics today.

Hookworm and Gapeworms are both Strongyloiea. Fendbendazole at 30mg per kg x 5 days.

You can give both at the same time.

For those that weigh in grams, the math for that is the weight of bird in grams, divide by 1000, times 30, divide by 100 equals the number of ml's to give.
Example - 2500 grams
2500/1000 x 30 / 100 = 0.75 ml

For those that weigh in kilograms, the math for that is the weight of bird in grams, times 30, divide by 100 equals the number of ml's to give.
Example - 2.5 kilograms
2.5 x 30 / 100 = 0.75 ml

For those that weigh in pounds, the math for that is the weight of bird in pounds, divide by 2.2, times 30, divide by 100 equals the number of ml's to give.
Example - 5.5 pounds
5.5 / 2.2 x 30 / 100 = 0.75 ml

As always, please check my math for errors and typos.

Perfect. Thank you!

I gave them DE and cayenne in their mash yesterday along with the probiotics and reran their fecal today and it came out negative, so I'm going to hold off for now. Their poo is looking good.

Also, I had grabbed their poo for the fecal the day before from their roost and I wonder if maybe it wasn't as fresh as I had thought.

I would re-run the fecal because many people have lost birds thinking DE and/or cayenne will treat them.

I did rerun the fecal today, which was negative. However, if I were to do a preventative safeguard dose, what would it be?

The one @KsKingBee suggested would be fine.

Zero worm eggs present, and give as a preventative? Sounds like a waste of medication.

I'm thinking it was a false negative because DE and cayenne are not de-wormers.
