Archerus Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi Guys, Just a quick question regarding worm tablets and how they work. I'm going bush with my dog for a week or so and am wondering whether to worm him when he's due (now) or wait till we get back (about 2 weeks). I'll be doing some desensitization training with livestock so think sheep & cattle and a few horses. As far as I know worm tablets kill the parasites in the dog and offer no protection therefore I should worm him after we get back. If so, how long do I wait? do i need to alow enough time for the worm eggs to hatch before i worm him? Alternatively, if the tablets offer protection, it would obviously be fine to worm him beforehand. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me chimes in with more than my surmising cheers *I couldn't find the spell checker button so please ignore my 'creative writing'.

Inevitablue Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 They work retrospectively. Just worm when you get back (and make sure you treat for tapeworm) and then follow up at the recommended time interval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
