Roundworm
I would wait for the meds recommended by the vet. I would not worm with over
the counter meds. Gail "Cheryl" wrote in message ... I just discovered that Bonnie has a belly full of roundworms. She had a dose of Drontal when she was spayed but I neglected to get the followup (even with all the trips to the clinic for shots.. bad bad me.) Anyhow, everything was normal up until today. Litterbox output - fine. Eating - fine. No vomiting at all since she's been here (nearly 7 wks). Today I come home from work and she hadn't touched her food all day, had peed on the newpaper in the cage and Shamrock was being mean to her. Not even a half hour after I got home she vomited and there were two coiled up worms in it. Quick net search to ID it and then called my vet. Gone home for the day. Clinic also closed until tomorrow. Googled for OTC worm treatments and found Piperazine. Any luck with this, anyone? I know Drontal or Panacur or even Revolution would be the proper choice but I'm limited until tomorrow. I got some of the OTC but since I can only give her meds mixed with food and her tummy isn't feeling well right now, I can't get much into her. Can I still get some Drontal for her tomorrow on top of the little bit of Piperazine that I managed to get into her tonight? Needless to say she's back in quarantine until I get dewormer for all. Dang it.. now I have to deworm Shadow and Shamrock... ggggggrrrrrrrr -- Cheryl |

Dang it.. now I have to deworm Shadow and Shamrock... ggggggrrrrrrrr I wouldn't use any OTC wormer - especially piperazine - and especially in Shadow. Here's an excerpt from my veterinary drug handbook. "Piperazine should be considered contraindicated in patients with chronic liver or kidney disease, and in patients with gastrointestinal hypomotility." I'm sending you the drug monograph via email.

Phil Hey stranger! Thanks, I wasn't going to use the OTC stuff on Shadow, it was just the feral that was vomiting worms and I panicked when I couldn't get a prescription quickly. She didn't eat much so not much of it went in her (I have to spoonfeed meds into her mixed with a/d). I'm going to get Drontal or Panacur for the whole gang tomorrow... the other two don't show any signs of worms and for real they don't have any physical contact with the feral except for Shamrock and batting each other through the cage bars but I think to be safe I need to deworm them all. When she vomited, the worms were spit out on the floor outside the cage. I've read about Panacur use with chronic diarrhea so maybe that isn't a bad therapy anyways for Shadow. Thanks so much for reading this!! -- Cheryl -- Cheryl |
