    Praziquantel in water for tapeworm treatment

    Just dose them before they've had access to food in the morning. Once you treat them, they can eat. They should have empty crops first thing in the morning, they don't eat over night (pick up the food the night before). That way the meds are the first thing that go through and the first thing...

    Praziquantel in water for tapeworm treatment

    There isn't even an amount per gram on the label to even try to do math to figure out a dose, and I wouldn't try to worm them in the water, it's just too variable, you are far to likely to not give them the correct amount for it to be effective. You will be far better off with the Equimax. And...
