Title: Another worming questions
Post by: beth123 on January 17, 2011, 21:06

Evening all

I need to worm my girls and have never done this before.  With what I've read on here I decided to go for Flubenvet.  When I called my vet to ask for a prescription they told me that they are not licensed to issue prescriptions for chickens and I should go to Pets At Home.  Does this sound right?

I'm really confused, do I actually need a prescription or can I just buy it?  Is there different strengths and how do I know which strength to buy?

Thanks
Beth
