Vet says my dog has Giardia. so I must also treat the birds she shares yard with (geese)

I am Trying to figure out safeguard horse paste dosage for geese with Giardia. I found out my dog has Giardia, so I must also treat the geese she shares the yard with.

Dosage For ducks: 5-15 mg/kg given orally, once a day for 5 days.
(same as for Geese?)

A 12 pound goose is 5.4 kg ~~ @15mg/kg that's 81mg? IS THAT 81 ml? seems like a lot of stuff to force feed an angry goose
A 10 lb goose is 4.5 kg ~~ @15mg/kg that's 67.5 mg? IS THAT 67.5 ml? ditto...

12lb goose at 15mg/kg Fenbendazole.
12lb/2.2 X 15mg/100 = 0.81 ml-this would be your dose.

10lb goose at 15mg/kg Fenbendazole.
10lb/2.2 X 15mg/100 = 0.67ml - this would be your dose.

Oh yay that’s sooo much better. Thank you!! But Even with the paste being 10% ? I don’t have to multiply by ten? That’s great

No you don't multiply by 10.
