Gapeworm safeguard paste dose

[IvyYounts]

How do you know she has gapeworm?

The symptoms all match up. And I saw the worms, they look like. But let me clarify that. I DO NOT know that it's gapeworms. But it seems like that may be what it is.

Ok, where are you seeing the worms?

My hen currently has a gapeworms, but does not do all those things she does do some of those things tho. Maybe she has worms plus something else!!!??

Have you dewormed her yet?
I see the video of her gasping. Is her crop emptying?
Do you have an antibiotic?

Yes, and it is working. I have seen changes, she still does it a little bit. I did it 5 days in a row. I have safeguard horse paste!!!

I'm glad she's doing better.
I'd still check her crop to make sure it's emptying overnight.
If she's not improving completely in a few days and the crop is functioning well, she has no lesions/canker inside the beak, then you may also want to treat her with Tylosin to see if that makes a difference.
