Capillaria parasite - how to treat?

[casportpony]

and should have dose recommendations on the label.

It's "labeled" for use in poultry for treating large roundworms and cecal worms, and for that it lists a dose. No dosing info is listed for treating capillary worms.

Helpful, right?! My reference said 4mg./ kg. body weight daily for three days for Capillaria in chickens; it's from a lecture at Michigan State in 2016. It's the only reference I found in a very short search.

OK so now I’m very concerned! This young girl It’s almost unresponsive in the corner… My three options are that the capillaria has taken over her incredibly fast and strongly, I have dosed her too much, or something completely unrelated happened? I’m wondering if maybe I did not does her enough it’s possible that she’s 3 pounds she’s a little bigger than the other. I just read another post where it went on for weeks and then she treated her with 1 mL and she was good in the morning. Wondering if I should give her an emergency one cc right now? She had a half this morning ?? Any help anyone can give would be so appreciated!

I see I missing a gap of information… Today was day five of the safeguard treatment so we should be done! This one has received a half cc each day, I would say she is 9 to 11 weeks old. Light Bantum

Have you checked her for mites and lice?

No I haven’t but her poop did test positive for Capillaria on Monday And have been treating since Tuesday. I don’t see anything flying or jumping around them....

She just pooped a glob of red and other more watery poop. We are on the fence right now whether to give her another dose tonight before bed or just wait until the morning… But we are worried that if we wait until morning it will be too late.

To check for mites and lice you need to catch them then check their skin for creepy crawlies. You need to check their vent, legs, back, under wings, neck, and head.

Can you post a picture of her poop?
