Vent Gleet? UPDATED* fecal test indicates tapeworms and roundworms

[aart]

I got the stool to the lab! Thanks CSU! Now to find the culprit! Been watching the girls for 30 minutes and at least know who it's not! At least it's a beautiful spring like evening!

Cool...hopefully they will give species and counts of what is found.
Can they send a report electronically? Nice for record keeping.
What was the cost for fecal?
Did you ask about necropsy, what are costs and procedure??

Sorry, Insatiably Curious Glutton for Details here.

No cost dropping off the samples and they didn't say about the cost of necropsy, but said if one was dying, that would be the best time to bring one in. But they could do diagnostics on a corpse too! They were super helpful and will be emailing me the results! That would be pretty great if they told me species too.

Quote: The pathologist at my lab explained that they like live ones because they can draw blood, which makes doing some of the tests easier and less expensive. Let us know what they find.

No word yet! Anxious to find out. Hoping the isolated hen is the only one with the weird looking stool.

Hello friend!

Update! I got the lab report and if I am reading it correctly, looks like the fecal matter has both tapeworms and roundworms. Total cost of the lab is $13. Luckily I am going to pick up new chicks today, so I can pick up supplies there! And I have the WHOLE beautiful weekend with no kiddo and no man to just spend with my favorite birds!! Chick sitting and de-worming all weekend! And hopefully some coop remodeling too!

I think for any number over 100 you are supposed to treat. Did they suggest a treatment?

Waiting on a call back! Hoping to get a hold of her soon before I head to the feed store. Only one feed store is open tomorrow.
Valbazen looks like it treats both types and I could potentially give it to the whole flock. Wazine and Ivermectin may be options as well from what I have read. I would trust their expertise though!
