Worming with Horse Wormer (Safeguard & Panacur)

[subhanalah]

Clear tote, that's a great idea!

The dosage measurements are for 10% paste. ie there is 100mg of active ingredient for 1g (1000mg) of paste.

So...

0.5cc of paste ~= 0.5g of paste

0.5g of paste = 500mg of paste

500mg of (10%) paste contains 50mg of active ingredient

A dosage of 50mg active ingredient per 1kg body weight

=500mg of (10%) paste per 1kg body weight

=0.5g of paste per 1kg body weight

=0.5cc of paste per 1kg body weight
If your bird weighs 2kg then you would need 1cc (or 1g) of paste.

this should be a sticky Un the emergencies forum!

...nevermind...

Paste or liquid, 1ml of either has 100mg of fenbendazole. The dose I use for roundworms and cecal worms is 50mg/kg (.5ml per kg) once by mouth, repeat in 10 days. For capillary worms I give the same amount 3-5 days in a row, but still looking for info on dosing again in 10 days.

I believe we've tracked it down.
It's UK directions.

Treatment is normally continued daily for 7 days, then repeated 3 weeks later.

I just want all of you to picture a very flummoxed person at Tractor Supply yesterday evening. She had just discovered a "ring of hideous wiggly things" around a favorite chicken's vent and was frantically searching the intertwebs for some clue to the mystery of a hundred types of dewormer - none of them for chickens!! Thankfully she stumbled upon this thread and was lead to the Safeguard horse wormer. She administered said wormed to 40+ chickens (at some point she lost count). You just never know when the info placed on BYC will come in handy! ! Thank you!

Do her a favor, call her and tell her that her hen has "flystrike"! Those are not worms, they are maggots! If she ignores them her hen will almost certainly die.

Does wormer work on them?

Does wormer work on them?

No, it doesn't.

 

[orrpeople]

No, it doesn't.

What then?

@orrpeople , the area must be cleaned and all maggots must be removed manually. Very good chance there will be a wound, and it's not too severe a wound you could spray with permethrin. Flystrike is a very serious, life threatening condition.
