Worms? *gross picture*

[Wolfgang B.]

He might have been talking about FLUBENOL. I read the waiting time until you can eat the eggs again is supposed to be 4-5 months?
I read in a German forum to use SOLUBENOL. Does anyone of you guys have experience with that?

No experience with that. Can you get SafeGuard?

Yes, I could order SafeGurd for goats from the US. Or Valbazen from Germany which is twice the price though. Is one better than the other?
I also want to add that the worms were dead when we found the poop.

I'm sure either will work, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money for dewormer, I would go with safeguard. Both the paste and liquid will work, (they equal the same amount in doses.)

That's flubendazole, and it's used in the UK with a zero day egg withdrawal when small doses are used.

Either will work. Worms don't survive long outside the digestive tract, so usually when you actually see them they will be dead or nearly so. For either Valbazen or Safeguard the recommended period for dumping eggs is 14 days following dose. Normally with either brand you will dose twice, 10 days apart, so total withdrawl is 24 days. I'm not suggesting you do so, but I know that some people ignore the withdrawl. I've been using both meds for years and there has never been an issue, the eggs are fine. If you sell eggs, I would not sell them from the withdrawl period.

Get the Vabazen. Bang for the buck it's the better wormer.

Both are good wormers, but the dose is not the same. Treating with Safeguard requires larger doses given for several days.

Paste is super expensive. Five 125 gram tubes of of paste = one bottle of Safeguard for goats.

In case I go with Safeguard (still going to look into Valbazen) is this it? https://www.ebay.de/itm/Durvet-Safe...033101&hash=item3f6f788542:g:1FIAAOSw44BYV~eu

And is it enough for a flock of 5? Shipping time is 10-14 days from the States to Germany. Is it irresponsible to wait that long? Ugh I really appreciate your help, guys!

 

[casportpony]

That will work, but it won't last nearly as long as a 500 ml bottle of Valbazen.

I would not wait 14 days to treat the one that pooped out all of those worms.
