worming fyi just to help others

I like many of you use safegaurd and pyrantel to worm my dogs. Took my lil pup of 17 wks(23lbs) to get the rabbies vac and she said it looked like he may have worms. I told her I wormed with pyrantel and safe gaurd,she said great but neither kills tapes. She was cool and said just worm him with the wormer she gave me which was cheaper than the fecal exam. I did a search on line and ref my Cal Jack book and doncit kills tapes and is only available by script now. D worm kills tapes and was put on FDA recall.

this is the same as doncit but you dont need a script.

i use happy jack,always did good for me

 

my box for horses doesnt say tapes looking rt at it? She gave me 2 caps for 5 bucks she is cool the safe gaurd for dogs is way to expensive.

 

Safe-Guard (fenbendazole paste) 10% is indicated for the control of large strongyles (Strongylus edentatus, S. equinus, S. vulgaris), small strongyles, pinworms (Oxyrus equi), ascarids (Parascaris equorum), and arteritis caused by 4th stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris in horses. horse version is different I guess.....but still cheaper to get the horse version and the fish tapes caps. It costs 14 bucks for one worming for the canine dose by me.

 

fenbendazole doesnt kill tapes that come from fleas..which is the most likly way a dog on a chain or kennels will get tapes.Praziquantel kills all tapes even the one from fleas..Praziquantel is the main ingrientent is fish tape pills.

 

yes same ingredient as doncrit but dont need a script

 

Also you can get Doncit from down under Austraila with out a prescription. But Fish Tape pills are alot cheaper.Belive me..

 

to much in shipping lololol

 

Lol Yea it was like 130 bucks for 30 pills plus 20-30 in shipping.But it is an all wormer we used for kep.but not these days we use Praziquantel in poweder form very very cheap.

 

^ i wish all were this educated.


and you never REALLY know if your worming is working unless you get a fecal slide-otherwise its merely guesswork

 

TRUE KIND OF LIKE A DR GIVING BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTICS KILL EVERYTHING TO BE SURE LOL. But its a fact canine safegaurd states kills tapes on the label...horse version doesnt per label. Most use the horse version if you do it would behoove u to throw in the fish tapes. sorry for the caps busy at work.

 

RallyRacer good point on the slides and so true on the guess work.A descent mircoscope is well worth the 250 bucks and the kit for fecals.But the avg joe will do pretty well if they have a good worming plan.Rotate wormers is allso a good idea.And dont rely on Ivermecten to kills all your worms people.

 

canine safegaurd or safe gaurd (Fenbendazole)only kills Tania(sp) tapes these are not the same tapes that fleas carry.There ingested by the dog threw a dead anaimal that has then..NOT FLEAS

 

whats some of the effects of tapeworms on dogs?

 

I use Stongid-T currently i just get the 60ml bottle for $26 (1cc per 10lbs.), what others are good to use after using this kind for a while?

Doesn't do Heart Worm tho! I don't believe. I want to do the yard, for that also!
Whats the best these days for heart worming several dogs(20-25 dog). :confused:

 

1% liquid ivermectin 1/10th cc for every 10 pounds

 

o and what is the dosing for the fish tape pills?

 

strongid-t is pyrantel pamoate you can save alot more by getting the liquid then the tube from jeffers or kv 32 oz for 40 bucks 32 oz is around 900 ml.so do the math.
No it doesnt do heartworms use Ivermectin for that.your best bet on heartworms is ivomec 1 cc per 110 lbs.Get the generic 1% ivermectin from kv or jeffers
