Re: [AlpacaTalk] OT: tapeworms in dogs/cats
We get Praziquantel tabs from our feed store. Tradewinds makes the
brand we get there, it's the same as Droncit. No prescription
necessary. It's available online, here's a link for cats
http://www.1800petm
and for dogs
http://www.1800petm
Obviously they must be treated for fleas as well. And if they go
outside, you can be sure you'll have to periodically treat for
tapeworms. We sure do!
And I know what you mean about the economy, it's the same for us.
I can tell you that herbal treatments don't work... the only thing
that does work for our cats is the praziquantel.
Best of luck!
