megalin Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hello everyone, Just noticed a horrible worm in a dropping this morning! Just wondering whether to go for Verm-X or Flubenvet? Also what's the best way to keep them away? I keep everything as clean as possible and use stalosan F etc. Should I worm them and then clean everything super thoroughly? Bit concerned they will go and then they'll just pick them up again, we have so many wild birds around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalin Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I know ACV is a good preventative but I read somewhere you can't use it in galvanized drinkers which I have..... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi Megalin, Never had a problem with worms but saying that I use Flubenvet every 4-5 months. Hope you get sorted Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'd recommend Flubenvet quarterly to keep the worm level down. I use Bio Dri in the run to keep the worm egg level down and it seems to work well - they thrive on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalin Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Great, I've ordered Flubenvet. Maybe a big clean and extra Stalosan will keep them away and I'll do regular de worms. Fingers crossed they go quickly, I really can't handle anything parasitic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
