I went to the vets yesterday to take Ebs in for her VHD jab (Olly came too) and I wanted some advice on preventing flystrike and rear guard while I was there but then while I was having 'the talk' with a pet health (?sales?) advisor, he mentioned worming and anti-flea treatment.
I'm completely mortified that I didn't have a clue about worming them or using flea treatment. I feel so ashamed that I didn't have a notion to even consider doing it and that I was so ignorant to the fact that its something that is required. :shock::shock:
I'd be really grateful if I could have some advice. I'm a tad dubious about worming them and flea treating them at the same time - is it okay or will I be overloading them with chemicals/treatment?
Is flea treatment really necessary? They don't have fleas and I'm ignorant enough to think that they won't get them as they don't come into contact with any other animals. :shock:
How often should I be worming them? How do I worm them? I have some panacur in a syringe but whats the best way to get it into their mouths?
I sound like a complete idiot, i can't believe I've managed to elude something so apparently obvious for so long :roll:
