best4koda Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi, koda is struggling with colitis again. Been on meds again. Is on a meat only diet which i'm not sure of its working. Found cow pat poor this arvo. I wormed her with frontal last night so am wondering if that could be problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Pretty much everytime I worm mine she pukes the next day. I really must remember to feed her on a full tummy as that can help apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinabean Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I'll see if I can find a link to an old thread I started on this same topic Best4Koda. I'm not sure why, but my dog gets quite sick for a couple of days after Drontal but was fine on a different wormer (Canex). Many wise Dolers suggested taking a fecal sample to the vet to see if worming was even necessary.

Guest lavendergirl Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think the all-wormers do upset the tummy - mine usually has a loose motion the next day. I only give it every three months. If I had a dog with colitis I would be wary of giving it at all unless the presence of worms was confirmed. Heartworm is necessary though - depending on where you live.

karly101 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yes it helps to feed them with a full meal...drontal seems to be the harshest so do try other brands if it continues even with food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If you are using a monthly heartwormer as well, try Interceptor. The intestinal wormers in it are not as harsh on a delicate gut as Drontal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4koda Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi guys, yeah we usually use interceptor but the vet wanted to use drontal to rule out hook worm due to where we are. I did give it with her meal. I always have done this anyway. She seems ok this morning so hopefully that's what it was. Hook worm is a problem in northern wa apparently and she has been thin as well.

mumof4girls Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just popping in this thread, I have just started using interceptor spectrum which says it is also for fleas.. I used to use comfortiis but stopped once I saw that this allwormer also covered fleas.. Rogue has been scratching this past week.. Is it OK to also use comfortis? I can't find anything in the box that says anything about mixing the two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
