Worming
Species: dog | Category: parasites | Submitted: 10-Feb-07 09:50PM | viewed 1530 times
Q Magner asks:
The Panacur paste insert for dogs over 6 months says to give 2 syringe graduations per Kg as a single dose. It says to do this 3 times a year. Is it reasonable to follow this if the vet has suggested worming the dog?
Q Samantha says: Yes, this sounds reasonable so long as it is for general worming. If your vet has recommended a particular product for a condition your dog has it would be wise to follow their advice. I would recommend that dogs are wormed every three months and you could consider more frequent worming if you have young children in your house.
