Where can I purchase a roundworm dewormer?

[Percheron chick]

Regarding Aquasol: I just got a call from my vet saying the fecal came up with round worm. She suggested Safe-Guard Aquasol. Long story short, after finding out the liter of it (for gasp $300) was out of stock and calling the company--(qcsnpply)--they said the supplier has 10 liter bottles in stock (versus the gallon for $1000) --and I shut my eyes and ordered the liter --so much cheaper than the gallon ;-(. Now I am reading that regular Safe-Guard paste would have sufficed? The stuff I order says we can keep eating the eggs with aquasol... (which gets added to water.)

Note to self: Put apple cider vinegar in their water more consistently, with an occasionally garlic clove. Preventative.

Also, my understanding is the supplier is not selling the liter size anymore. Why would they do that???

Cancel that order. That's enough product for 10,000 chickens. Probably will expire in 6 months.

You can use Safeguard horse paste or Safeguard liquid goat wormer. I've never used the Aquasol due to the high cost (ridiculous cost IMHO). The active medication is the same, fenbendazole. The Panacur Aquasol site (UK information) says no egg withdrawl time, there is a withdrawl time for meat. Panacur is the same active medication. You can also use Valbazen (labeled for cattle, dosing is different-albendazole) it's equally effective. I personally don't do an egg withdrawl for Safeguard or Valbazen, have never had an issue. Both are used/prescibed for human use also, so unless you are allergic, risk is pretty negligable.
Here is the info from Panacur:

probably too little demand.
Folks with larger flocks and heard use the bigger one, and those with small flocks use an alternative formulation.

Ok I was just about to settle on this vs Wazine and Ivermectin. Thank you!

How do we figure out the dosage with the horse paste?

How do we figure out the dosage with the horse paste?

Dose of Safeguard horse paste is .23ml per pound of body weight.
Use an oral syringe, draw up the correct amount by the birds weight.
An inexpensive digital kitchen scale works well for getting weights.
If you are treating for roundworm only, do two doses 10 days apart. If you don't know what parasite you are treating for then dose 5 days in a row.

Stop the vinegar. It does nothing but disrupt their gut flora.

Cow, goat, or horse Safeguard or Panacur would have sufficed, but it's not truly water soluble, so needs to me given orally or in their food.

The reason Aqua-sol's label says you can eat the eggs is because the label says to give 1 mg/kg. The same thing can be accomplished with the cow, goat, & horse stuff. I started a thread about it here:
