How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Clairbear]

After just realising my chooks have lice I have been to Pets At Home and have found some Anti-Parasite Spot On that is for large birds (i.e. Parrots). It contains Ivermectin so I've treated both my girls with a pipette each as suggested for parrots.

 

Anyone else used this? Also how long should I not eat their eggs for?

 

All your help is much appreciated by the way

I can't help as I haven't used that one.

 

However, I have seen general info on ivermectin in the FAQ. Here's the link.

I use Xeno 200 which also contains Ivermectin. Although it's *not licenced for use on poultry in the UK* it is recommended by certain vets.

 

There is an egg withdrawal period of 7 days but I have never adhered to that and have come to no harm. Ivermectin is used for worm control in third world countries.
