To the best of my knowledge, ducks can have fenbendazole or ivermectin.Have fecals checked at the vet's, and then you can plan. I have no idea about ducks or geese as far as safety is concerned. Mary
That equals 0.6 mg/kg. Your best bet would be to have routine fecals done because there are studies that show ivermectin is not effective in treating capillary worms. And it's not just studies... I know several people that have lost birds to capillary worms because the chose to use ivermectin instead of fenbendazole (Safeguard or Panacur) or albedazole (Valbazen).I emailed Holderread's to find out what they do. I've purchased some of my waterfowl from them and they've always been really helpful.
Here's the reply:
We do not routinely deworm our waterfowl, but if necessary, we recommend using an oral dose of 1% injectable Ivermectin for Cattle & Swine (NOT Ivermectin + clorsulon) at the following rate: 1/10 cc per 4 pounds of bird. Let me know if you have any questions about the instructions.
