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

Question

I have an adult quail with Capillaria (crop) worm and Heteroecious worms? She has been quite ill. She was not showing any signs of illness until she escaped from her pen for aprox. 1 hour. I believe she has had the worms for awhile, maybe the stress of being frightened caused her to become ill from them. What dose of Ivermectin drench should I use? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 2 months old | 0.5 lbs

Unfortunately, for legal reasons we are unable to give a dosages of medications without seeing the patient. I recommend you take Henny Penny to an Avian Veterinarian for an examination. If you have the Ivermectin drench on hand, there may be dosing guidelines as part of the instructions.
