Hello :)

Mary the pest here .

I have treated my beautiful finches with baycox.

When I eventually receive the moxidectin, which is for the lice/mites control as well as having a worming treatment in it, can I use it if I have already given the worming treatment via the baycox?

Thanks

Maryfancis3 baycox is for coxcidiosis not worms !! It will do nothing to prevent worms .Moxidectin is a wormer and will treat lice /mite like ivomectin .

OH! I must be having a blonde moment.

I thought I read that it was for worms. I see now that it is an intestinal parasite. Silly me :P

That makes me even happier, knowing I am treating them from the inside out.
