Is There A Cheaper Worming Option Than Panacur?

[indigirl]

I jsut paid $150 for a litre of Pamacor 100 which is a good price for it. Still stings jsut after xmas though.

Wondering if there is a cheaper worming option for multi dog households than im unaware of?

Panacur will last you for ages. And works out quite cheaply, just expensive to buy. Do you use it 3 days running?

I have been using Fido's Closasole - 100 tabs are not too bad (compared with Popantel or Drontal). It does all worms and is not expensive. It's often a good price on the net, if you look around. Ovids (think that's it) in Q is pretty good. My vet thinks it is a pretty savage wormer and can cause stomach upsets, but I have had no problems with it.

You can also use Ivermectin, but it is off label (Sheep and Goat, or Cattle one), and you will need a vet to tell you the appropriate dose. I did know, but have lost my book with quantities. However, it does work.

But I always usd Drontal liquid with pups.

I also use Fidos. I recently paid $65 for 100 tablets. I tablet per 10 kilo cat or dog.

I split them for my little ones. Check expiry date as I usually give some to friends as I cant use them all over the use by date but it still works out very cheap.

Yes. Pyrantel pamoate aka Pyrantel Embonate. Very mild. Works well for round worms. Easy to administer. Sold for human infants. Google it and for dogs to get dosage. I paid $35 for a quart of the stuff -- enough to last a lifetime.

Jed I use it 3 days running if I suspect there's giardia around. For straight working I jsut use it the once, should I use it 3 days running each time?

Fido's doesn't treat whipworm.

What dose do you use for Panacur 100? I use Panacur 25 either 3 or 5 days in a row.

Cydectin mthly for heartworm for some and Panoramis for others

Dose is written in the bottle at home lol

I have ivermectin at home for heartworm

Ivermectin doesn't do tapeworm, or at least that's what my vet told me the other day when I got some.

Tapeworm is hard, but not that common. There are two species. The one that is spread by fleas is most common here. Praziquantel is the compound most used to treat it. It is effective but fairly expensive. You'll find it in the more expensive multi- type worming tabs. If you have persistent problems, you can buy the active ingredient in stuff that fish farmers use to treat tapeworm, but you'll have to do some homework on dosage. If you're not good at working out concentrations and weights, get some help from someone who is comfortable with such calculations.

I use Fenpral $105 for 100 tabs it is a generic form of Drontal which is available now that the patent on Drontal has expired. I alternate with Propantel to reduce resistance when the bottle runs out.
