RobinM Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 How long until this kicks in? Beau tested negative but we are treating anyway. We gave it last night. If he does have some type of parasite that is not being exposed in the 3 fecals we brought in, just wondering if it was going to work, when would it be working?

GeorgeofNE Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Can't answer with any medical accuracy, but my guess is, since that's a one-dose dewormer, it probably works right away??

Batmom Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 For giardia, you'd give once daily for 3-5 consecutive days. For worms, one dose and you'd probably retreat in 2-4 weeks. When you'd see a result really depends. If he had an active hookworm infestation, you should see improvement in symptoms within a few days. If giardia, possibly not until the end of the 3-5 day treatment.

RobinM Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Batmom- all I got was 2 pills of drontal plus 2 be given together. No more. That is it. That is all she is going to give me. My question was more, when would HE be feeling the crummy effects of the drug as he is not eating today. Is it the drontal plus, the chicken that has been added in or the ID? I don't know but I am on the edge right now.

Batmom Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Good question, and I can't answer that. When I've given Drontal or other wormers, nobody's ever batted an eyelash. No inappetance, no gurglies, no diarrhea, no nothing. But, nobody here is Beau. Remember, too, he hasn't been eating very well until p.m., right? So I would try to just wait and see.

RobinM Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Actually, had had been eating about 2-3 pm. 1 cup of kibble and 3/4 can of the chicken BG. Then about 9 or 10 pm we were getting another 1.5 cups with more BG. not bad. Today, nothing. I'm wondering if it was the drontal, the chicken which we just put back in or the ID or is it just getting worse. We bought the natures variety raw. Hah. That was a good for a laugh. (I'm being obnoxious because I am really starting to feel unglued.) I None of my dogs will go near it.

Guest wmlcml6 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I don't think we've never had any dogs get an adverse reaction from Drontal Plus. I hope Beau feels better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Might be the food change--can't do to many changes with a dog that is suspectd of IBD. FYI--my IBD dog can't even look at chicken w/o a setback. No poulty in my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
