chris87 297 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Can anyone help me out, have a dog with all the signs of lung worm and from what ive read it seems one single dose wont work to clear up an infestation . So should i give every week? Every other week for a couple of weeks? Also should i be giving a bigger dose for lung worm. Any info greatly appreciated cant really afford the vets but of course if i have to i will. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mally 832 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Panacur 10% wormer given over 7 days (1/2 normal dose) will sort the dog and it's about £16 online Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 if your dogs showing signs of lungworm its probably to late but a dose of ivermec a week apart will sort it , what dog is it ? I give all mine a shot of ivermec every 6 months just to keep on top of things , but lungworm isn't that common in the uk and a lot of other respiratory problems are blamed on lungworm , bayer and your good old vet dick turpin are well versed in bullshitting you out of your money 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris87 297 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 hes a deerhound x weatonhound nearly 4. I gave him a dose 3 days ago and a shot penicillin after reading pen is used in lung worm treatment and have been giving him penicillin everyday since and he seems to be feeling better in himself dosent seem as depressed so hopefully a second dose of ivermec in 4days will sort him out. Ya i agree i only ever used vets if i dont know or cant help. O whats bayer? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
