Worming discussion again I'm afraid! Recently wormed my two girls for 9 days as I'd seen worms in their poo. Unfortunately, they are re-infecting themselves as they're are housed in an 8x6 shed attached to an aviary style 25ft x 7ft run (on grass). It's impossible to clear every poo (and resulting worm egg) from a 'natural' style enclosure. They also have lots of free time in the garden and are clearly dropping worm infested poo everywhere they go. Chatted to my vet about it who suggested a regular worming routine of every 3 months. She said the worms wouldn't cause a problem but that I should take care to keep the infestation under control so that they didn't become a burden on the gut.
I've already used Panacur paste and Lapizole so have been weighing up the pros and cons of Xeno 450 and Panacur liquid 10%. Although from an owners point of view Xeno 450 would be the easiest option, I decided to go for the Panacur liquid based purely on cost and volume of medicine to administer. For a known worm infestation, Xeno 450 states you should treat once, then again at two weeks and then again at four weeks - three treatments in total. Bearing in mind I'm treating for worms I know they have, rather than a preventative measure, does anyone have any suggestions as to whether I do a regular 9 day treatment or whether I should do something different?
