How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[HENthusiastic]

I wondered whether people are secretly eating their eggs when worming using panacur??? I want to get into a better routein of worming. I like the idea of panacur, because of only having to give each chook 2 doses, rather than everyday for a week (which can be tricky in the winter if they are off to beddybys early). So I wondered......... can it really be so bad??? Can a little bit of chooky wormer really harm us........ more than a vodka, or a couple of fags? Or a greesy kebab after a night out??? (Not that I indulge in any of those nasty habits of course

 

So, what do you think, whos going to own up? Who's secretly gobbling those panacur eggs and not telling???? (and did it make you )

They wouldn't be flavoured, only possibly carry traces of the worming ingredient.

 

The vets advice is to withdraw the eggs for 7 days after each dose, whether or not you do that is totally up to you, but the law is clear that you can't give/sell the eggs to anyone else.

 

I have forgotten about the withdrawal period before now and eaten a couple of the eggs with no ill effects (although Rosie would probably argue otherwise! )

I think I might risk it.

Well I suppose it makes sense to worm everyone at the same time!

On serious note.. does panacur treat the same varieties of worms as flubenvet?

Yes it treats them all.

[sandyhas3chucks]

seems better then????

I'll stand corrected on this as I don't have my specs on to read the packaging, but I have a feeling that Flubenvet doesn't treat tapeworm, and only treats gapeworm on double dosage.

 

My vet said that Panacur is broader spectrum and works on more types of worms.

 

**Panacur isn't licenced for use on poultry in the UK**

Here's a detailed bit on worming http://www.crowshall.co.uk/forms/flubenvet-brochure.pdf

...and this 12 pager gives more - page two shows a diagram of where the all live in a chicken and they do mention tapeworm - but I do not know if that is a double-dose worm like gape worm. http://www.janssenpharmaceutica.com/jah/

My understanding is that Flubenvet is not active against gapeworm and large tapeworm unless the dose is doubled, and that it is not active against small tapeworm.

 

Egg withdrawal then applies for the course of the treatment and for one week after.

 

**Strictly speaking, the double dose should only be administered with the permission of a vet.

I understood there was no egg withdrawal with flubenvet, or at least that's what it says on the box? Is the withdrawal only if you double the dose?

yes, only if the dose is double.

Oh thanks for clearing that up
