I found a roundworm in some chicken poop, oddly only one, no more! I went to TSC, and an employee there told me that this was the only dewormer safe to give my hens. This is my first go around with deworming chickens, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi all,
Can anyone advise what dosage of Selenium should be given per day to an adult hen, she doesn't weigh much maybe just under 1kg. The only advice I can find online is the dosage for chicks and pullets. See context below.

My 3 week old chick has been turning its head to the right. It is still eating drinking and running around normal. He can even turn its neck around the opposite way to nibble its feathers but there is a definite bend to the right at all times. This has been going on for a week. I’ve been...

Hello chicken friends
I'm looking for help and discussion about dosing a mini pig using the paste (Links follow).. the difference in digestion process and how it might effect dosage. as opposed to pour on or injectable.

I'm seeing a lot of helpful information on Ivermectin dosages here, however, I'm a bit confused as to when I need to reapply it for northern red fowl mites and scaly leg mites. I'm using the pour on 5 mg strength. I keep seeing a second dosage after 7 days but I'm also seeing after 10 days. And...
My rooster is 2.6kg or 5 lbs
He was in the vet today for bumblefoot, as we haven't been able to fix it ourselves.
The vet prescribed clavamox 375mg once every 12 hours
And metacam (1.5 mg/ml) She prescribed the metacam at 13ml every 12 hours - that seems super high to me?
My 37 kg dog gets 37 ml...
Hi! I'm dosing my chickens with safeguard aquasol. I bought a small amount via ebay since it's otherwise extremely expensive (it's manufactured for massive farm/factory flocks). Due to its unforgivingly high concentration and my lack of math skills, I'm skeptical of my calculations and worried...
I'm skeptical of my math abilities and I'm worried about massively overdosing my flock due to miscalculation (x the unforgivingly high concentration of safeguard aquasol).
I bought a small portion of safeguard aquasol, which is otherwise very expensive because it's typically used for...
Hi everyone!
I’m dealing with some lice and I have Cylence on hand for my goats. I was wondering if anyone here has used this pour on for chickens? I’m seeing online that it has recently been approved for poultry which is interesting but I cannot find a dosage anywhere.
If not I will go ahead...
This fendbendzole .5% pellets is what the vet gave me to give my chickens. He was not educated on the dosing because what he said made no sense at all! How many pellets do I give each chicken? If I add it to feed or the water I’m afraid because what if one chickens eats or drinks to much of the...

My flock has confirmed coccidia and a gram positive bacteria the vet thinks is giardia, she wants to charge me $99 to treat the two birds I brought in but not the rest of the flock without her examining them, I can find the meds she’s prescribing for fractions of what she’s charging at CVS and...
What is the injectable dose and frequency of LA200. I have read multiple answers on here and Google searches. Some say 1ml for large breed, but even the box says 0.5ml per 10lbs. Also, is it daily (once or twice), or every three days; and for how long?
thank you in advance
