Shelley Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I've had the birds for a month now and reckon they must be due a bit of worming. Problem is I can't for the life of me follow the instructions. Add to water over three days, but change the water every day? Is that how it works? Problem with my girls is that they seem to deliberately knock the water containers over so they can drink it from the ground. Very strange. But how does the flubenvet work?

The Dogmother Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Flubenvet is added to the pellets or feed.... Instructions here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I am surprised that you think it needs to go in the water Shelly The instructions that come with the Flubenvet are quite concise. Are you sure you have flubenvet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Oh dear. It's either the sun or the clucking that scrambling my brain. I can't get to the product because it's locked in the shed and my other half as the key, but it's definitely a product that's added to water and is designed to prevent worms.

Chucky Mama Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) It wont be Flubenvet then. Flubenvet is the only UK licenced wormer for poultry and it is added to food not water. You may have Verm-x. Edited July 5, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 There is a product on the market (panacur blue - looks like milk) which is aimed at larger animals and is not licensed for poultry. The ingredients is very similar if not the same as flubenvet, but at the end of the day it does the same thing, it can be mixed with water but separates very quickly and settles to the bottom of bowls. I would not recommend unless you are not going to eat eggs for at least a month after treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 You should only be able to get Panacur for use in chickens with an 'off license' prescription from a vet or pharmacist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
