Natspringy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi all, I just treated with flubervet for worms but Im pretty sure I just saw a worm in the poo. Can I treat again so soon? Only finished the course 2 weeks ago! As always thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 OK, so you treat them for 7 whole days, with no other food being offered and restricted/no free ranging. If they haven't been wormed before, or you suspect a heavy worm load, then you can worm again after a break of 3 weeks. The revert to a quarterly routine. While you are worming, you will need to boost their gut flora and health by giving Nettex gut conditioner in their water. I always attack the worm lifecycle from both ends by using ground sanitising powder in the run every week, and then having a run clear-out after worming and sprinkling it down on the slabs before I put a new bale of Aubiose in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natspringy Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thank you. These are rescues so maybe a heavy worm load. Just doing the ground again with sanitiser now! So I guess I should wait another week before reworming? Can I catch from their eggs in the meantime?! Thanks for all your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 You can still eat their eggs if that's what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natspringy Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thank you. From reading around it looks like tape worm. I just read that I need a different treatment for this. What would you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I would take a faecal sample to the vet or send off to Retfords for analysis - as I said in another thread (forget which) they will advise on appropriate treatment. You should use this on all your birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
