FastDogz 155 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Have to agree Drontal plus They are big tablets but they do the job Quote Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Drontal everytime. It can be used on pups from 2 weeks of age also. Panacur made some of my dogs ill. You can get drontal a hell of alot cheaper here than you would any vet: www.vet-medics.com. Quote Link to post
Rainmaker 7 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I agree. Drontal+ is the danglies and much cheaper online. Just so I'm not simply posting a "What he said" post... Has anyone heard of Milbemax? I used to use it for the bulls, as it's designed for larger dogs. It's more expensive than Drontal PER TAB, but each tab does a dog two or three times heavier than one Drontal, if you get me. It kills the same gear as Drontal, so for anyone with large lurchers (or bulls, etc) it's worth looking at as it does work out cheaper per dose overall (i.e. one Milbemax rather than three Drontal). I was told by a vet a couple of years ago that many endoparasites were immune to Panacur now, and they stopped selling it for that reason. Drontal was no more expensive than Panacur at that practice, so maybe they were right? Quote Link to post

Think you could be onto something there,the local rescue kennels used Drontal for years then after 4 or 5 years they noticed it wasn't cleaning them out,the vet changed them onto pancure and they had no problems I reckon it might have been the same the other way round.It could be a good idea to change wormers every so often.

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 It could be a good idea to change wormers every so often. That is ~ or should be ~ the standard practice, mate. That's why ye'll see I've messed around with various other Wormers, and am always on the look out for something else Mix, match, chop, change; Keep those worms on their ..... erm ... " Toes " ?

Rabbithunter 456 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Cheers for that, Nickey. So, in short; Unless ye keep a veritable 'pack of hounds', ye liable to end up ditching most below the neck of the bottle. Or else just dosing ye Dogs with 'out of date' stock? (Unless this stuff has a shelf life measured in Light Years?) Personally, I only tend to worm when one or other of them shows they may need it. I'm probably way too old now to ever even get through an 'ageless' litre. Guess I'll just stick with the tablets. nice posts mr shitter you make us laugh all the time not?you seem to have a really enginered mind on all sorts lately dont you?well the reason im hear anyway was I WANT TO NO WAT THE FK YOU ON i never new a good drug that made so much shit come out of someone mouth ,this much?if some one ask you a qestion ?just give them a answer ,not a load of blubbering shite wat were used to hearing ,some of us are getting bored now no need for that, ditch shitter is a respected member of this site and over the time he has been here has kept us all amused with his well constructed, thought out posts.

madhunter 16 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 milbemax by far the best going Quote Link to post
waz77 15 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I get a 100ml bottle of panacur 10% for about a tenner which would do about a dozen terriers and it always works for me, although one bitch always refuses it when i put it in her food but the others are fine with it.

Has anyone heard of Milbemax? i use the milbemax, get it from the vet's.. It is about £4.50 a tablet, but it does the trick, it works for my dog's, my dogs work for me, so there worth it.

Vets charged £5.25 for 1 tablet! Most of mine had to have 1 1/2. So quite expensive with 15 dogs every 3 months without fail! Even though they need more drontal tabs than milbemax it still works out cheaper. Quote Link to post
