    Praziquantel in water for tapeworm treatment

    My turkeys keep having tapeworms. I have been treating individuals with praziquantel but keep finding new segments. Maybe earthworms and bugs are host reservoirs. I don't want to salt the earth because part of why i have birds is for grasshopper/tick control. I got this tub of praziquantel...

    Does this look like a tapeworm?

    Found this today from one of our girls. 1st pic in the coop, 2nd washed off to verify if was a worm. Looks like a tapeworm to me, especially with the center line/intestinal tube. We're planning on giving the girls a dose of flubenol (flubendazole) - though they just had one about a month ago :(...

    What in God's name is this???

    Yesterday morning, this was waiting for me on my porch steps. It smelled horrific, and had this flat long segment in it. My first thought it tapeworm, but i've not known a chicken to poop out an entire worm??? I've never seen any evidence prior to this- no smaller segments or anything. They...

    Tapeworm Treatments?

    I noticed that my hens' poo has tapeworms in it :( and was wondering about a few dewormers, which I have researched.... Ivermectin Does it treat/help with tapeworms? Some sources said Ivermectin did not treat tapeworms. Will it affect my few currently molting hens? Safe-guard (Fenbendazole)...
