Re: Out of date worming tablets?

Im so cross!! i know i should have checked before giving them the tablets but i suppose i just trusted my vet!

it wont hurt them having the expired tablets and it may have also still been effective. they have a grace period on the expiration dates they just can't guarantee the effectiveness. but really i would be more upset that the vets sold them to you knowing they were for your own stock! i would get a refund and make sure you get some up to date tablets.
