Worming Tablets Vomiting
Discussion
Hi 9 month old Terrier, very rarely vomits.
He's been scraping his bottom on the carpet recently, not often but every couple of days or so. He doesn't have fleas as he's not been wormed since 10-12 weeks so we gave him some Bob Martin's followed the instructions, 1st thing in the morning with 1/5th of daily food.
An hour later back comes breakfast
Immediately perked up drank some water and went out for our normal walk. Feed him again once we were back and seems right as a penny.
Should I try a different brand of tablet and if so what do you have success with?

Whit's the active ingredient in the Bob Martin's wormer?
Some ingredients cause vomiting more than others but it would be helpful to me to know what's in them
Working should be every 3 months (esp for roundworm) there ate several different types of wormer so you should be fine to try an alternative for him if needed.

Hi Bex
The active ingredient is Nitroscante. He's just vomited again twice
1st time looked like the "post walk" food I gave him. 2nd time looks like water and bile, I hope the stuff is out of him by now. I'll just let him have water for the rest of the day, he's looking a bit subdued.
I think the Vet gave him Drontal when he was 12 weeks so I may try some of this.

Notorious for causing vomiting and the ingredient I thought you were going to say. Was the treatment of choice many years ago for vets. It works but it did commonly make dogs sick. If it had been more than 2hrs after giving the tablet it may have had enough time to work but an hr later is too soon. I was glad when better products came along!
Yes Drontal plus is one I would suggest. Our practice uses milbemax (also well tolerated by most) I think you can get drontal from pet supermarkets and pharmacists aswell as your vet.
Leave it a week then try again

If he's scooting his bum on the ground he may need his anal glands cleaned.
A vet will do it for you or you could watch and learn how to do it, if you have the stomach, it'll save you money.
We feed our Terrier raw bones these help the glands empty them-selves. Our boy is also sick with certain worming tablets but we use Plerion on an empty stomach, hidden in cheese.

Set the syringe to the correct dose by rotating a threaded collar, 'inject' on to the back of the tongue, job done. we've treated dozens of puppies and dogs in the rescue centre with no problems.

Yes this is a very gentle wormer, we use it for young puppies and kittens.http://www.vetuk.co.uk/dog-worming-cat-worming-pan...

The only problem with this wormer is it doesn't do tapeworm, which though lower risk than roundworm, dogs and cats still need to be treated for. Dipylidium caninum is a tapeworm carried by fleas so any dog or cat that ingests a flea whilst grooming, (they don't need to be covered with fleas for this to happen) or with hunting cats, eat their kill, can pick up tapeworm.

I've had limited experience being a student but I've heard a lot more negative stories regarding Bob Martin than positives. It seems to be more problematic than other wormers/flea treatment what do you recon?
Yeah I avoid the Bob Martin stuff with our cats, Drontal seems to do the trick and is what our vet uses.Gassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
