Hey all! Been awhile since I've visited but could really use some guidance! We've been battling tapeworm for some time. We treated with Equimax horse paste in April/May (2 doses 7-14 days apart. Now they're back and I'm at my wits end!.
We started treating Saturday with Valbazen because I'm concerned about them becomimg resistant to Praziquantel. We've been withholding food from about 6 pm-7am and giving 1 cc orally for a 5 lb chicken in the am. 1/2 the flock rcvd dose #4 today and the rest, dose #3 (22 total) and we're still seeing live segments!! I know it works slower, but should we keep treating until we no longer see moving segments?
I don't know how to free our acre of the eggs so this doesn't continue so any advice there is also appreciated?
Thanks in advance!
