Paid 935 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Depends on the wormer, theres quite a few different chemicals, some can cause problems and side affects in dogs. Without knowing the actual chemical its hard to tell. Quote Link to post

bigdaz 688 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 if its been wormed its been wormed Not if it's spewed the tablets up it hasn't. Quote Link to post
LaraCroft 863 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 if its been wormed its been wormed Not if it's spewed the tablets up it hasn't. Agree The drug companies mainly say that if the animal/person vomits within 3 hours of taking a tablet, or has diarrhoea within 12 hours of having the tablet, then the actual dose can't be guaranteed. But I think the OP suggested the tablet had been given the day before, so should be fine, as Paulus said. Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 First time I wormed my lad was with bob martin I think, and he was proper sick. The flea treatment also nearly killed him. Stay away from any cheap pets at home type stuff. Lesson learned. Stick to the known brands, and read up on what reactions they can have. The wrong dose of anything could kill a dog. I use Drontol wormers and he is OK with them, every dogs different though. Keep an eye on them.......... Quote Link to post
