Anyone want to post meds info for Tape Worms and Round Worms? Are there other intestinal parasites that should be on the "short list?" By short list, I mean most common.

All worms should be on the list IMO.
I'll start a thread.

Tapeworms

You are awesome. Thank you! I took a stab at Roundworm last night and will show you later.

Please critique this list of meds for Roundworm.

Where did you get those numbers?

Regarding piperazine

There are two Wazines, Wazine 17 (170 mg piperazine per ml) and Wazine 34 (340 mg piperazine per ml). There is also something called Pig Swig (170 mg piperazine per ml).
I can't seem to find the Purina one.

The numbers in your picture are very different than the numbers in my books. Is this where you found them?

Edited to add:
Piperazine dose is 100-500 mg/kg
Roundworm

Oh, yeah. Right. Links. Lemme see if I can find my sources by going through my history. Very possibly unreliable, which I why I asked for critiquing, but we'll see.
I'll try to list them here:

• Valbazen (just info on the drug itself, I don't think I attempted dosing):

• I visited this page, but doesn't look like I did anything with it:

• Fenbendazole

• Piperizine:

FINALLY FOUND WHERE I GOT IT!

Apparently I was all over the place last night and it was late. Didn't have time to digest and see if one was way off from another. What is that book you have? I might need it.

Oh, and I found that last one by clicking through here:

I had never been to that site you linked above (asking if I got the numbers there). It doesn't say who wrote the presentation, so I personally would not use it (even though I'm all over the place in my attempt at Roundworms.) I like to see a university or doctor's name somewhere, if possible.

As I thought I might, I'm having a difficult time sorting out which information is accurate.
