Would it be okay to worm a female that you were going to breed next week ? Feel like tapeworm medicine is stronger than some worm medicine. Does it linger. Would anyone know how safe ? Just noticed. Help !
I recently discovered tapeworms in a female that had been bred two weeks prior. When I ask my vet whether it was safe to worm her with Droncit he replied "Not necessary to do anything; tapeworm infestation will not hurt a health dog". I was a bit surprised, but glad that I didn't have to medicate.
No problem, I had to do it several years ago. It is not really that strong, Dronsit disolves the protective shell on the worm and the digestive tract does the rest.
Fenbendazole is suppose to be safe to use on pregnat and nursing moms. But I dont like to use any chemicals during that time. I wait to worm mom when I worm pups at 6 weeks.
