tape worms

[pig mad]

Anyone ever have trouble with them and if so how do you deal with it?

[Officially Retired]

Praziquantel.

Look in your recently-acquired Pit Bull Bible ... in the "Saving Money" section :mrgreen:

panacur-safeguard will help 2 of the 3 species, for the 3rd theres a product called droncit (maybe drontal) either or........... lol........

Those two species don't affect dogs ... and for the 3rd species (that Panacur doesn't get) praziquantel *is* the active ingredient in Droncit ... but you can get it for 1/10th the cost of Droncit, if you shop smart ;)

[pig mad]

[BERMYASSASSIN]

WELL THATS WHAT I USE FOR WORMS AND I DON'T HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH TAPE WORMS,HOOKWORMS OR ROUND WORMS

[pig mad]

I just had to much drama with tapes in the past to play around i have panicur, valbazen, dectomax and imax gold the only 1 to work is imax gold with 75mg/ml of praziquental dosed at 1ml per 10kg.

Jack and others, have yall use this product? Its prazi suspended in propelyne glycol... which to my knowledge is safe to give a dog. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=12098 If my math was correct a dose would be 1cc/20lbs perhaps someone could check my math on that.

Bermy, does Paw Paw kill the type of tapes that are transmitted by fleas? I don't have problems with worms either, and I don't feed paw paw, but when I have tapes that come from fleas, the only thing that I know that kills them is prazi.
