Worm retreatment AquaSol

[moosey]

Hi all. I’ve just finished 5-days on Safe Guard AquaSol (my chickens, not me). I’ve read that with other wormers, you should treat again 7-10 days later. Does anyone know if this is the same with AquaSol? Thank you!

Thank you! This is my first time worming, so wanted to double check.

This doesn't say anything about not needing to retreat. It says effectiveness should be monitored which means, if they still have worms, you'd have to retreat. It's effective against adult worms, not eggs. If any eggs have hatched since, then you'd have to retreat.

Aquasol only treats round worms in chickens. They can pick up roundworm eggs again at any time after the 5 day treatment of Aquasol. No wormer protects them from getting worms in the future. For control of most chicken worms including capillary and gapeworms, I would use SafeGuard liquid goat wormer 1/4 ml per pound for 5 consecutive day or Valbazen 1/2 ml given orally once and again in 10 days. Aquasol is water soluble and can be put in the water, and costs a fortune. The other 2 are much more affordable, but are not put into the water.
