Ivermectin wormer

[Guest joshdonlan]

Im looking to worm my birds with the poor on ivermectin. Should 1 drop of a pipette on the back of the neck do it? Do i part the feathers and put it directly onto the skin or what?

 

Thanks in advance

Thats it mate, make sure it goes direct on skin, and deffo no more than a tiny drop ;-) back of the neck

hi m8, i part the feathers at the base of the neck and put one drop on.should keep them clean for abot 6 months....it will kill any lice as well.

In the past i've dabbed it with a cotton bud on the bare breast skin... works just fine and the birds are clear of insect life for months.

sounds good to me

Has it been proven that this clears worms if poured on.

I was once told by a prominent Vet that it would only clear worms if ingested---i.e. swallowed.

Ivermectin on the back of the neck isn’t 100% effective against worms.

I just drop a drop down their throat - not killed any yet

and does it still keep the mites away?

not had any mites but use as a preventative - guess it works

The one spot treatments are advertised as wormers too. Permeates the skin and enters birds bloodstream, so reaches all parts, including the guts.
