worming my peacock

[nickel chick]

Can someone repeat the dose of safeguard for worming my peacock and does it really need to be done 4 times a year?

Hello Nickel Chick!

You might have better success asking the knowledgeable folks over in the Peafowl forum that question. Good luck with it!

I agree with Plip, it's best to ask folks on the Peafowl thread, they are very helpful

May I suggest that you take some fresh poop to a vet and have it tested to see if you need to worm? If you can't do that, then the Safeguard dose that will treat all worms is 0.23 ml per pound *orally* for five days in a row.

Small peacock gets 2 ml for five days
Large peacock gets 3 ml for five days
Small peahen gets 1.5 ml for five days
Large peahen gets 2 ml for five days

A one day treatment treats large roundworms and cecal worms, but does not treat capillary worms.

Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.

And a second round of dosing is required ten days later to ensure that the worms hatching from developing eggs are killed too.

Thank you again I have been away for awhile and need to get back at it. Off subject I was so sad to see about Dylansmoms passing she was a great help to me and I will miss her advice and humor.Very very sad.
