I've always used Milbemax for Alfie previously but used Cestem this morning for the first time and he's been very sick First time was approx. 5 hours after the tablet (so am hoping he did at least absorb the benefits) then twice more within an hour of that time... the last time there was loads there, I think he's brought up everything he's eaten today

He's been crying/whining on and off for most of the day and just been generally unsettled. He's barely slept too which is not like him. He is still full of life - bit too much actually, he seems a bit hyper

On Googling I've found a couple of reviews on the tablet saying their dog has suffered the same side effects, so that's put my mind at rest a little. But should I contact the Vet or just see how he goes?

Anyone else experienced the same or similar with this wormer?

Oh eck sorry I always use Drontal, I would have thought it worked before he threw up the 1st time though

That's what I'm hoping too. Think I'll be going back to Milbemax after this though

Oh dear . Maybe check with the vet or manufacturer that he doesn't require worming again. Hope he recovers soon x.

Thanks Dogless. He's been crying for his dinner (following me out to where his food is kept in the utility room every time I go out there, hopping around, looking hopefully at me ), which is not surprising, he's probably starving... so I've just given it to him; just hoping it stays down please

Have decided that if he's sick again I'm going to phone the vet, just to be on the safe side. Will definitely check about re-worming too; we're there on Monday for a check-up so I'll ask them if I don't have to call them tonight.

God, they do worry us something terrible don't they, these naughty pooches.

I would also check with the vet if he needs to be dewormed again... but that can definitely wait until Monday when you re going anyway. Hope he is back to normal soon

Poor Alfie

I use drontal on my dogs. Everytime Coles has it, he's sick after about 5 hours too. Only once though and he's fine afterwards. I've not rewormed and he's be worm free.

I would perhaps phone your vet and ask their advice.

I've used Cestem last twice worming my 2 as Drontal used to make Harvey sick. Cestem so far has been fine on them both.

Funny (for want of a better word) isn't it, how different wormers effect dogs differently. On further googling I've found tales of almost every wormer on the market making dogs sick and the general opinion seems to be "once you find something you dog tolerates okay, then stick with it".

We never had any issues with Milbemax.... I'll be sticking with that in future, despite the price!

He had his dinner over 2 hours ago now and it's stayed where it should be so hopefully he's over the worst now. He still hasn't slept though he's been awake now since just after 11.30 this morning (and then he only slept for half an hour) which is totally unheard of for him
