Hi Jerry,
Yep, got those same doses yesterday, but thanks for your input, really
appreciate it. It's good to have it confirmed by a vet.
This one has a multiple infection by both nematodes and cestodes and
also some type of generalized mite infection, not yet determined
exactly which type. So this combination product is perfect for this
case since it will potentially take care of all the problems. He has
already been dewormed several times with fenbendazole which helped but
didn't quite take care of the nematode problem. We also intend to use
selamectin later on if he still has a problem (mostly for the ear
mites).
Heartworm is not part of the problem, and as far as I know we don't
have those worms around here. Although I suspect that in the future we
might see a slow migration to the north of French heartworm
(Angiostrongylus vasorum).
