I'm coming here because I don't know where else to turn. My cats (4
outside, 1 inside) and my dog have tapeworms. I have been seeing them
in their stools since summer. I was unable to get a vet to write me a
prescription or sell me the tapeworm meds...without bringing the animals
in. I could not then and cannot now afford to do that.....and its not
like I don't know a tapeworm when I see it! So I began looking for
alternatives.
Someone suggested that I use Safeguard for dogs and it would take care
of the tapes in both dogs and cats.
Since there are 5 cats and the dog is over 100# this was not cheap, but
cheaper than the prescription that I cannot get anyway.
However I am still seeing tapes in the inside cat and the dogs stool
(never see the outside cats stools, but they were eat up with a bad flea
infestation when they came to live with me so I am quite sure they have
tapes).
What can i do? I really don't want to use that Happy Jack stuff, it
looks wicked and dangerous...
I don't want to risk their life. I just cannot afford to take these
animals to the vet AND pay for the very expensive meds. But I also
cannot leave them declining full of tapes. Any suggestions? I can't
buy it on line without a prescription. We are in serious survival mode
here with my business totally dead for the past 4 mos and languishing
for the entire year, going slowly slowly deeper and deeper into the debt
hole, now a crater.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
