deworming pups

[Officially Retired]

Just curious why for goats. Do u worry about overdosing, or it being to strong for the pups

The "for goats" stuff is nonsense. It's just a smaller bottle, labeled for goats, rather than a larger bottle labeled for cows.

Like Crisis said, the drug is Fenbendazole 10%, whether it's for cows, goats, or dogs. If you use it for dogs, do so at 1 ml per 4 lb, twice daily, for 3 days in a row.

It is a pain in the ass to use, quite frankly, and I would only use it if my dog had whips ... or maybe once in a blue moon for something different.

Unless you have a confirmed case of whips, which Pyrantel doesn't get, Pyrantel is a better choice for roundworms by far.

What I use monthly, never had any problems.

Why do you give that drug monthly? It's expensive as hell, and does nothing for any worm besides tapes, which most dogs don't have if they're de-flead.

i was reccomended to use Strongid-T but couldn't find it at my tractor supply store so i have them on nemex-2 and so far its doing its job. I wormed them yesterday, and will worm them again in a couple days, and hopefully they be worm free.

You're wasting your money on Nemex 2. Also, there are several posts on this forum giving you options that are a lot cheaper.

It pays to read the other threads here, as they're right under yours.

Have you read the Saving Money section of my book? Would save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars. It would literally cost you $1,100 to buy what $40 would buy you, shopping smart (no shit).

Wrong link, my mistake, this is the correct one http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...tid=1459&rel=1
I rely on my vet for medical advice, I do not have many dogs to take care of, regarding costs, and I assume that europeans might tend to use other meds than americans depending on manufacturer. In full honesty, I never considered medication and feeding expenses for my dogs, maby because I do not have a large number of animals or that I can afford it. To me is just vet expenses and compared to USA that a visit might cost a leg and an arm, here I can have a full operation for eg with $300.
