I am looking for a wide range as we are on a horse farm and one of the boy love to feast on horse poop. The recommanded additional deworming but could not tell me about the newer chemicals (moxidectin, praziquantel). It is known as Quest plus in the horse dewormers.
The Strongid liquid? The banana flavored yellow liquid? 1cc/20 lbs oral, super safe (pyrantel pamonate) Gets everything but tapes.
Horse poop is pretty benign unless they have salmonella, which does occur, but is not common.
Late post but just FYI, giving horse dewormer to dogs has caused many issues resulting in coma, death, seizures, etc so you have to be very careful about their utilization in dogs. Yes, heartgard has ivermectin in it, but in very very limited amount. Quest has been known to kill foals so is therefore, labeled as such - do not give to foals under 6 mo old - so how do you think a dog would react?
As Michael said - Jennifer wins! They are even recommending to do fecals on horses prior to just deworming them and looking to get away from the daily dewormers. There is no reason to deworm against something you dont have.
A very safe dewormer over the counter for dogs is Safeguard and it does kill tapeworms - tapeworms are caused by fleas or eating flea infested animals.
I was very suprised, last week the vet recomende again an other go at deworming Harley. This time with Panacur, the dosage is 10 time the one of horses!
Just to throw this out there, if you want to go all natural.
I started my pup (and myself!) on diatamacous earth as a wormer and worm preventer. Following the advice of Wolf Creek, I'm feeding it 365d/yr.(some places recommend just a 30 day course for internal worms).
I've had my pup on it for 3 months now.
She is worm free at this point, but she was wormed as a young pup at the breeders before I got her with some chemical wormer.
This is the first time I've ever done this, so I can't really claim effectiveness, but I'm going to do regular fecals for a year or so to see. I mean it really seems too good to be true - an effective natural wormer w/ all kinds of added health benefits and no side effects.
