Guest argolola Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Lola has been eating grass for a few weeks. Given her history of hookworms, I picked up some de-wormer when I got her dry food at the feed store. It's a pill form of pyrontel pomate. Is this ok?

Batmom Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yep. Pyrantel pamoate is the active ingredient in Nemex and Strongid-T, effective against hookworms and roundworms. As long as it gives the proper dose for a dog Lola's size, it's fine.

Guest argolola Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thank you so much! She was on Strongid for over a year. The pills are: one-50#, so the lady said use 1 1/2 now and 1 1/2 in 2 weeks. Lola weighs 65#. Should I do 1 1/4 instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 You could. The extra 1/4 probably wouldn't hurt her but wouldn't be needed either.
