Worming...

Hi there, this may sound silly, but i have never had to worry about worming my dog as she has the advocate flea stuff that has wormer wwith it.

I read on the internet that when a dog has worms it can stop them from eating as it can make them feel full up.

I thought that they eat alot......

Please can anyone give me some advise???

My girlie has not eaten since sat morning and i dont know what to do. I have gone out and bought some worming tabs just incase.

But then she could just be in pain with her knee, i dont know........

Re: Worming...

I'd check with your vet before worming her, because shes going for her op soon isn't she ? They may not recommend worming so close, if you are going to worm use drontel or panicure, both available from your vet.

Re: Worming...

Thanks, i dont think i am going to give her worm tabs. She had the advocate on a couple of weeks ago and that does worms aswell.
She did eat some food today.
I think my brain is just working overtime as i am starting to worry about her op......

i don't know weather you know this buddy but worming tabs from a pet shop or super market don't really work ! your better of getting them from a vets or the rspca ! and they will be cheaper!

Re: Worming...

Or get them from an online pet pharmacy - they work out so much cheaper - I use Drontal wormers for my cats and dogs....never had a problem with them. But like Jenny has said check with your vet just what you should do before doing anything

Re: Worming...

i have used bob martin with all my dogs!!!and they have been fine.never had a problem with worms.it's difficult to get to the vets where i am and with the car down thats just an added difficulty so it's always worked better to get them from the pet shop.

Re: Worming...

I buy all my wormers on line, mainly because I know what suits my dogs, how much they weigh, and it easier than making the trip to the vet

Re: Worming...

9 out of 10 time's i buy online to, From the pet pharmacy, They deliver the next day or 2.
I sometime's go to my vets if im passing, I get drontal tablets which to me are by far the best wormer.

As ****** said tho, The petshop wormers are poo and a take on, They do nothing for the dog what so ever.
