LJ's Chooks Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 So sorry to hear your news. Gapeworm seems very common at the moment. Can someone please post the dose rates for flubenvet cos I can't find it ... Is it double the quantity or for double the time??? Thanks and so sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What a lovely photo of Gertie - she looks very happy enjoying the sunshine. So sorry to hear your news. Gapeworm seems very common at the moment. Can someone please post the dose rates for flubenvet cos I can't find it ... Is it double the quantity or for double the time??? I don't think it is common, but it is the first assumption anyone makes if their chicken is "gaping". Apparantly if it is gapeworm, you can actually see it (though it needs a cooperative chicken and a torch). I understand that it's a double dose of flubenvet.

Plum Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 She was really enjoying the sun there, love your log perches. I think you give it for the 7 days at double dose as Jools says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
