Worms, possibly Threadworms

[Dani2236]

I've noticed worms in my chickens poo, And I currently only have pour on ivermectin. Would that be effective in treating the worms. Or does it have to be drench ivermectin? I don't think my feed store carries it. I thought the kind I had would work against internal parasites?

I have never used pour on on birds, but others have. Click on this thread that you started...scroll down...and u should be able to see similar threads like yours. Saw one thread that may help you.

If you can post pictures it would help. Threadworms or capillary worms are the kind that can be dangerous. They require Valbazen 1/2 ml orally once, and repeated in 10 days or SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or the horse paste 1/4 ml per pound orally for 5 consecutive days.

I have a video. Not sure if I can post it. I don't know where I can get the valbazen. And some of my birds are molting so I can't use safeguard

Here's screen shots from the video. They aren't very good...

My vet has Valbanzen, but it's a large bottle and for cattle. I don't know if that's the correct kind. Or how much it costs.

I use Valbazen, it's a 500ml bottle. Here's where you can buy it:

I'd rather not wait to order something, and wait for it to ship. Can I use ivermectin injectable solution? And give orally?

I dont recommend any type of Ivermectin since it has been losing its effectiveness treating poultry worms. I found that out personally.

Okay. So can I use safeguard?
