Salop Matt Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hay folks our little Bryn (9month old terrior) has appeared a little uncomfortable whilest doing his dutys the last 2 weeks, so as he was due his next worming tablets in 2 weeks time we wormed him over the weekend and yesterday he popped out a worm but also the last 10 days or so has taken eating on the odd occasion other dogs poop ! How do i go about stopping him doing this asap. And also what wormers do you guys use ? Iv never had a dog have worms before ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Drontal plus is what you want, does tape worms as well, for routine use Stronghold is good as its a flea treatment that also kills round worms and any other insect bugs like ticks mange etc Plus as its a spot on once a month its dead easy to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah I use Stronghold as well, not personally, but you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Apparently it works on people as well shaggy so next time you've got roundworms its a spot on the back of the neck you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiercel Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 As some on here know, we have in GB a worm that is carried by Slugs. Angiostrongylus vasorum, also known as French heartworm. It is a killer to dogs as I have found out to my cost. There are areas in the country that are hot spots for it. Parts of Devon and Cornwall, South West Wales and the South east of England. The problem with this worm is that you do not know that the dog has it, and by the time you find out, it's too late as I found to my cost. The only wormer that will kill the heart worm and all others is MILBAMAX but please be aware that it does not suit all dog types Collies especially. I used to use Drotol but now I will only use MILBAMAX. TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizla Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 i always use drontal plus; as for eating other dogs poo, my dog used to eat her own and one of the old time greyhound owner tolled me to give her more rufage in her diet, so i used to give her rabbits with their fur still on every now and then and it did the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Cheers folks. With regards to him eating poo, well his diet hasnt changed recently and the 2 labs he lives with have been on the same diet for the last 6 & 10 years but him eating there poo is new in the last fortnight ! Could it be a him trying to be alpha male ? I know some pack animals do this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I use Milbemax tablets from my vet, £1.33 a tablet and 1 tablet every 3 months. He has never had worms either so they must work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
