Re: [CHICKENS-101] chart on wormers and doses

 

 
>  I've never seen the brand they were talking about. I saved your notes in my dewormer file. Less is always better   than more when dealing with poisons, especially when less works just as well. Cath
 
I have been checking the various pigeon websites and what they use is the ivermectin sheep drench to use in drinking water. It is a 0.08% concentration so much weaker than the injectable, a few days ago I bought Iverlux for birds and it seems to be the same product as the sheep drench. On the pigeon site it says to use 8 cc a gallon, that's a really low dose at that concentration. I tried the Iverlux in water, I saw the drops fall to the bottom, but then I mixed it with a spoon and it did not settle out like the injectable does, so it seems to be similar to the  horse product Eqvalan which is not available a this time, some kind of manufacturing problem is what my vet told me.
