The Start of an Infestation?

[Sylvestor12]

One last thing, I was wondering if I can put it in their waterer? I has 5 gallons and it will make the process a 1000 times easier for me because having to dose 45 birds will be everything I can take in an evening. If I can, how much for my waterer?

Probably round worms if they were long and skinny... I've read that valbazen can be given in water. I know TS carries Wazine, which is only for roundworms. I've used that with great success, but I've only dealt with roundworms, and I KNEW it was roundworms.
You could give that a try first, if it'll be a while before you're able to get the Valb. Google roundworm pics, and see if that's what you saw...
Good luck!

Oh...I'll add that the downside of giving any of these things through the water is that you're never sure of the dosage your birds recieved. If a bird is not drinking for some reason, then its not getting the med/wormer. Or another bird might be getting a lot of med/wormer. However, that being said, it's always worked that way for me.

What are the doses for each product for the different sizes of birds? Also, do you think that adding 100% wood charcoal will help with the worms? Last, is garlic a good idea? Plus, all of my birds are drinking except for some dummy broodies that I'll give medicine to orally if I have to.

Oh, and the worms were extremely tiny skinny wise and length wise. I saw the roundworm pictures, definately not them.
