Worms and dirty butt

[rosemarythyme]

Right, then I do it that one time for round worms. Withdraw eggs for 10 days then do again and wait 10 days for eggs .I have it written down somewhere lol

The standard instructions are 5 days consecutive doses for roundworm, although I do another dose at 10 days just to make sure I get any eggs that hatched. And I do egg withdrawal from first dose until 2 weeks after last dose, which might seem excessive but don't want to be eating it.

(I know it's confusing because even the manufacturer has slightly different instructions based on which product you look at.)

Thank you! I really appreciate it

No trimming doesn't hurt. If you've never done it before, have someone hold the bird securely (or wrap her in a towel to minimize movement) and then take a pair of scissors and trim about 1/2" out from the skin, starting with the obviously soiled area and maybe a little bit out from there. I usually do it by myself and I trim down a lot closer but you can work up to that once you're used to it.

When I did it I tucked her under my arm with her facing behind me and took the scissors to her butt end.

If doing a trim solo, it would be easiest to wrap her snugly in a towel or something first,

When I did this, I also draped a cloth over her eyes. This calmed her down immediately.
