I hope this hasn’t been asked before. I did check and didn’t see anything.
I have a flock of 15 chickens and 6 ducks. They range from 1-7 years. A few girls have seemed not 100% and some poops have been loose.
I regularly inspect poops and noticed one with live tapeworm segments and roundworms. I had equimax paste already and because I thought it only treated tapes I ordered safeguard. I dosed them all at 10mg/kg and because i made a mess I used the whole tube. I did notice a few poops later in the day with a few dead roundworms in them so I guess that paste worked for those- so my question is- can I use the safeguard for the next 10 day treatment or is it best to buy another equimax paste tube and can someone clarify why some people recommend 3-5 days of treatment in a row followed by the 10 day after dose? Thanks
