I do have the bible...very informative book...but I also like to hear people's personal experiences as things change and everyone has slightly different experiences or dog reactions.

The quickest way to make bad judgment calls in the use of medicines is to ask the "opinions" of general laymen (who themselves don't bother to read the latest medical literature).Originally Posted by act284
The truth is, what are the safest wormers are not matters of "opinion," but matters of scientific fact, which facts themselves are based on controlled published studies on arrays of different wormers that are given to pregnant bitches, all the while statistically measuring the internal results (both favorable and unfavorable) to both the bitch as well as her fetuses.
The dosages for each of the drugs I listed above (pyrantel and fenbendazole) are listed in your book, and I didn't just pull these out of a hat, or base them on my "experience," but rather I actually looked up the latest published information on the ever-changing dosages and frequencies of each drug, respectively.
That said, pyrantel pamoate @ 50mg/ml is dosed at 1ml per 10 lb ... and fenbendazole @ 10% is dosed at 1 ml/4 lb, twice daily, for 3 days in a row ... again both of which are listed a few times in your book
Cheers,
Jack
