Should I continue ACV in water for worms

[soler]

I'm sent you a PM on how to deal with tapeworms.

BTW - could you post how you deal with tapeworms? i would also like to know. I thought you just had to use higher doses of valbazen.

Harry, are you positive the chicken have tapeworm as opposed to roundworm?

these are roundworms - thin, spaghetti like shape

these are tapeworms, flat and ribbon like, segmented
(lots of pics from Dawg 53 in fact!)

Okay, the (one - 1 ) I collected from the cockerel's paper, looked like a tape worm pic, was pretty long (aprox 2 in when I stretched it out), white and flat, not round, moving, wasn't in the pooh, just curled up on the paper, but the ones I collected from the pullet I've been treating with Corid since yesterday, looked like the round worms. Couldn't see the pic of the gapeworm very well, are they red in color, cause if not, it could have been that in the cockerel, but I'm more leaning toward tape, looked like the first pic of the long white worm. The other pictures wouldn't open so I could see them, but as I say, the pullet's looked like round worms (lots wrapped around the pooh, round like spagetti and about that size around) not moving, not tape.

Ok, curious to hear Dawg's specific treatment for the tapeworm, but i think the valbazen for sure will help with those roundworms. I really would start ASAP if you are finding them so readily in the poop.

Hope everyone recovers, keep us posted!

I ordered Zimecterin Gold paste, from Jefferspet.com. It was reasonably priced at $9.85, but won't be processed until tomorrow I'm sure, if then. Hopefully they will send it out tomorrow, and since they're in Bama maybe only a day or 2, like you say, it's probably pretty bad, espically the pullet, with all those things, there were probably about 15 or so on that 1 little pooh. Plus she's been sick for 2 wks, and treatment with antibiotic has not helped, she is out of the new ones that I sent in for necropsy, that said they had several kinds of worms, so it's probably unbelievable infestation. I feel so bad for them, they have to be suffering greatly, I'm sure she's got the kind that cut off the breathing also, and I'm thinking my cockerel does also, since he stretches out his neck and sucks air every now and then. I read on here somewhere that it is a sign of some kind of worm or parasite presence. I will keep ya'll posted and let you know how it goes, but like I say, it will probably be a couple of days before I even get the wormer, but no other choice than ordering on the net, no one around here has anything. Don't know if the paralyzed one will make it, she's in pretty bad shape. I will keep posted though.

Try Wormazole, Enzum, or Neokil from Wood Enterprises in AK. Any one of those gets rid of all worms. You can buy caps or liquid. I prefer the liquid. Do it once and do it again 10 days later.

Hi. I just want to confirm that the Corid dosage is 2 teaspoons per gallon and not 2 tablespoons. Thank you.

If you are talking about the 9.6% liquid then yes, the dose is 2 teaspoons per gallon. Technically it's 9.6 ml per gallon but it's easiest to just measure the two teaspoons which is 10 ml.
