Aussie Finch Forum

hi, im new to the forum and only have a few finches atm and id like to get a small bottle of wormer for them but the moxi plus is way too much in qty.can anyone let me know which brands are safe please ? i have nuns.
thanks

You could try something in the Aristopet range, but they're not particularly good products. The syrup with praziquantel* is probably the least bad.

Do you know any finch breeders in your area? Perhaps you could ask for a swig of their moxi?

*Praziquantel is the "plus" in Moxidectin Plus.

DON'T BUY ARISTOPET, WHATEVER YOU DO! I used it for a while there but after the first 3 wormings, the worms just kept coming back
I use Panacur 25, and it is absolutely fantastic, $50 for a litre bottle, but still you get more bang for your buck than Aristopet at $28 a bottle, which only lasts for 1 worming
Here is an image on what it looks like: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pana ... vmzziFy0PM:

Where do you buy that from?

Any Agricultural stores, I buy mine from 'Norco Rural', and I think I use it at a dosage rate of 2.ml /litre, I will

Ok. Hopefully I can find somewhere that sells it in the middle of brisbane. Then again, it is only a 25 min drive to the nearest produce and agricultural store which probably sells it...

I think it is 2.5ml actually

Go to your local avian vet and explain what you need and why. They will usually sell you a bottle (mine do a 250ml from the stuff they keep in stock)

Thanks so much, I don’t know any breeders but I could ask my vet hopefully they’ll sell me some.i looked at the aristopet One so thanks for the advice on that too
