Worming

[Horsemama]

Could someone tell me at what age I should start worming my peas and with what? I live in a rural area in PA and can only find safeguard and the ivermectin for larger animals. I did find a liquid of one of them that said you could give to turkeys.

I made the mistake of letting my peachicks on the ground way too early, so I started worming mine when they were very young and they've been wormed several times since then. I have a serious problem with blackhead here, so that's why at five months old, mine have been wormed at least three times.

Safeguard for Goats/Cattle (fenbendazole 100mg/ml) is what I use on mine.

I made the same mistake and you remember what happened to my pea.

How do you administer the Safeguard? Give me step by step directions, please.

My vet told me to give 50mg/kg ( .5cc/kg) by mouth and repeat in 10 days. My two that are 5 months old weigh just over 2.7kg and just got wormed with 1.4cc's of Safeguard. If you're going to do it orally, use a 1cc syringe and be vary careful not to aspirate them.

Thanks casportpony Im still very new to peas so for their saftey I think I'll put 3cc in a gal of water. My peas are 4 and 5 mo. old an I haven't wormed them yet but by the sounds of it I better get started.

Make sure it's their only water source and stir it as often as you can because the safeguard will separate from the water.
