Recurring Tapeworms

[Sue Gremlin]

Did you know the combo of Praziquantel and pyrantel tartrate is toxic to chickens?

No, I absolutely did not. Thank you!

The tube in question is contains pyrantel embonate, not pyrantel pamoate. Maybe it's close enough to pyrantel pamoate that it will be fine. .

Anyway, the dose for the bottom tube is about the same, it's 0.1 ml per pound of body weight. @Louisetho2

Pyrantel pamoate is the same as Pyrantel embonate.
It's called Pyrantel Pamoate in the U.S., Pyrantel embonate in Europe. I guess Australia imports it from Europe.

Thanks for finding that.

So am I safe to give them the bottom one or should I go back and try to exchange it? I obviously don’t want to harm my chickens but Avitrol don’t seem strong enough for tape

Need to make a dosing chart for AU products!
