Worming

[pirate]

We adopted a 4 year old dog about 3 months ago. Not sure when Arnie was last wormed before we took him. He has been worm twice with propontel wormer twice and Drontel on Sunday. When he was wormed the first time his poop came out full of worms second time wasn't so bad but he chucked up had some worms come out in his vomit yuck. So had a 3rd wormer. Wondering if l should give him another lot of wormer in a fortnight or worm him monthly for another few months. He weighs about 30 kgs

The other thing that he did when he first hopped in the car he laid down on the back seat buried his head and didn't move for nearly 8 hours, except for toilet breaks. If he could have he would have put his feet over his head. He is starting to lift his head in the car.

He went from Perth to stopped with my cousin for a few days in Adelaide he coped surprisingly well with there grumpy dogs. The to Tamworth for about a week. Picked up a puppy and back down to Melbourne and across to home to Tassie.

As regards the worming, I wouldn't worm for three months provided he was dosed according to weight, he has, afterall, had a lot of drugs in the last 3 months. If you are worried he may still be wormy, get a fecal test done to see if there are any worm eggs in his stools.

Regarding the travel, wow, he has done a lot! Hope he settles down now & finally realises he is home.

He has figured out he is home and isn't going anywhere. Once animal moves in the don't move out.

I'd also take him to the vet to have a test done for heartworm as a just in case -- unless you know he's been heartwormed. Especially so if he's been adopted from a warmer climate.
