I am so frustrated! All were fine this morning. Not one sign of sickness. An hour later one is dead! What am I doing wrong! I am feeding the medicated hi protein food. I have been medicating water twice a week. They are wormed! I don't get it

Wow, that's not good! What did you worm with ? How did you give it? How much did you give? What have you been medicating the water with?

I looked it up online and I used a gel wormer it said to use for gapeworm. I use a dropper and put n mouth. Then 2 weeks later put wazine in water as directed. But that's been over a week ago. And for coccidiosis I put sulmet in the water as directed a couple times a week

What is the name of the gel wormer?

I started with 6. 2 pied, one emerald , one white and 2 blue. Lost both blues. The other 4 are now a little over 3 months. I found some blues here local and bought 5 2 weeks ago. They were already on the ground so I put them n with my older peafowl. Not sure their age, they were all different sizes. And I've lost 2 in 2 and 1/2 weeks

Ivomectin. Not sure if I spelled that right

Do you live in the US? If so, you need to get a wormer like Safeguard (fenbendazole) or Valbazen (albendazole) because Wazine (piperazine) only treats large roundworms, and that's only if they drink enough of the medicated water, and ivermectin, according to *several* studies, is no longer and effective womer.

If you live in the US you should think about having a necropsy done.
