[alucard]

Hello guys I have an asil hen who just hatched two eggs it has been almost 7 days that she has lost her appetite she is active but she is not eating she only eats green leaves like spinich etc today I examined her poop and I saw something moving there were worms in her poop someone told me to give her valbazen which is not available here but I found this zentel suspension for children it is 20mg/ml can u guys tell me how much should I give her.plz help me guys

In looking up Zentel, it looks to be albendazole, the same drug as Valbazen, but Valbazen is 113.6mg per ml. Dosage of albendazole is 20 mg per kg (each 2.2 lb) of weight, if that helps.

For example if she is 4 pound then I should give her 2ml or cc of zentel through a syringe am I right? One thing more should I give her directly or in water? Thanks

That sounds correct 2 ml/cc given directly by mouth, not diluted in water.

With a 20mg/ml solution the dose would be 0.45ml per *pound* orally, not in the water. Okay to round up to 0.5ml per pound.
