A cure for gape worm.
« on: July 06, 2015, 11:50:48 am »
This is how I cured gape worm for one of the hens who came down with it. You need about 1-2 garlic cloves, raw, olive oil and cayenne pepper. Dice the garlic clove/cloves, finely. Warm the olive oil in a ceramic cup in hot water. Put the diced garlic into the olive oil and let it sit for a couple of minutes. For a small amount of dose use 1 garlic clove. Remove the mix from the water and let it cool completely, or until tepid, mix in about 1 small tsp of cayenne pepper, or half a big tsp. Put the mixture into a zuzzer, soup zuzzer (I:E food processor) and zuzz until it is all like a reddish slush. Put into a plastic container and cover with clingfilm until needed. When dosing the hen give her about 3ml per time about 3-4 times daily and give her plenty of water. The gape worm should be gone within about 2 days by which time she will be eating and drinking fine.
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Salmon faverolle, large fowl. Just lower the amount in the syringe for smaller fowl.

or you could just buy the licensed wormer-probably nicer for the bird.

Yep I agree. This is just a herbal way of treating it and believe me it works.
