This is a spot on for scaly leg in chickens. so says my vet, no
question about giving it orally.

Maybe because that is what you presented.

There are two types available here as well - topical and oral.
The oral has been used for many years for many species. Neither has been
certified for chickens yet.
We have Flubenvet that is more commonly prescribed for worms. When they have
a certified option, they usually use it.
