My quail is sick with worms. What Ivermectin drench dose should I use?

I can't really give out doses on here due to legal reasons but you should have no problem finding a dose for Ivermectin in any one of a veterinary pharmaceutical book on online reference. Just look under the rodent section and you should be able to get a pretty good idea of what you should be giving. Depending on how old the squirrel is and how crazy it is getting Ivermectin into it will either be an extremely difficult task or one that is rather easy. You have to kind of slip the syringe into the corner of the mouth and then squirt it in pretty quickly. Just make sure that you have an accurate weight on the squirrel before giving it any medications as overdosing a small animal like that is pretty easy to do.

Putting Ivermectin on coco is the treatment for skin mites. If Coco does not have skin mites than the ivermectin is not needed. typically if placed high enough on the back Coco will not really be able to ingest it. I would be more concerned about behavioral issues causing over plucking. I would make sure Coco has enough toys, mirrors and is located in a low traffic area to help decrease in stress. I hope that helps

Hello again. I am glad that you got her tested and got to the bottom of her skin problems. The veterinarian will have to give you specifics on how to give this medication because by law we are not allowed to give out the very complex dosage regimen for ivermectin without having first physically examined Pushinka. We are bound to the rules of the veterinary client patient relationship act, which prohibits this or we fear disciplinary action and even a loss of our license. If you ask your vet they will likely give you the dosages that she needs based on her weight. She will need to be on this for roughly 4-6 weeks. She needs to have 2 negative skin scrapes before being taken off the medication and skin scrapes should be done every 3 weeks. I would also continue the shampoo we discussed to also control the secondary bacterial infections that are occurring on her skin. I would then discuss with your vet about prescribing dosages for an antihistamine to hopefully help control the itch. Best of luck with Pushinka!

It looks as though this product is 2% w/v, which translates to 20mg moxidectin per ml. Based on that information, Moyel would receive 0.029ml according to your vet's directions. The Quest gel is labeled for exclusive use in horses and clearly states that it should not be used in other species. As a result, I would inquire further with your vet as to their planned course of treatment. Even if they feel comfortable prescribing this medication in an off-label fashion (which is commonly done!), the volume of medication appropriate for Moyel is so minuscule that it's next to impossible to achieve accurate dosing. I would instead ask if they have recommendations for topical treatments of moxidectin or selamectin if they're more comfortable using those medications rather than injectable ivermectin. I hope that everything goes well!

I am currently working in Belize and we have many other dewormers. Do you not have any veterinarians near you? A better dewormer would be pyrantel pamoate. You cannot get a 2g Ivermectin tablet into a small enough dose for a 1.4kg puppy. Don't even try as you will kill her.

Ask your vet to look for ivermectin dosage for birds, he needs to use the injectable form (which he has for sure as it is widely used for dogs in India), he DOES NOT need to inject it to your bird, he only needs to put the small quantity on his skin back of his neck, usually one drop is enough), he will need to repeat it 3 times, each dosage one week apart.

The treatment will depend on which worms your parrot has. Parrots are most commonly susceptible to roundworms and tapeworms. If Pickles is infected with roundworms, the treatment is fenbendazole or pyrantel pamoate. If the infection is with tapeworms, then the treatment is praziquantel. Your dog's veterinarian should carry all of these medications and should be able to prescribe them for Pickles. Pyrantel pamoate can also be purchased over the counter in liquid form from most pet stores.
