Ok. She gave a pea size of Safeguard orally for a week, then 14 days later, she gave her a few drops of Ivermectin between her shoulder blades for a week.

Pea size is not enough.
That is old/wrong.

Please re deworm her.

I thought you weren’t supposed to use the same dewormer twice in a row?

Common misconception. Ideally you would have a fecal test done, then treat for the worm found, twice with the same medication. For example, your test finds large roundworms, so you treat with pyrantel pamoate once, repeat in 10-14 days. Then you do the test again in a few months and find large roundworms again, so now you should rotate de-wormers and use something that is in a different class of de-wormer, like Safeguard (fenbendazole) or Valbazen (albendazole), and with either of these you would treat once and treat again in 10-14 days.

Does that make sense?

Hi everyone. My family and I decided to euthanize our little silkie girl. She went downhill again, and letting her be in so much pain and struggle just wasn’t fair. Thank you all for your help, I appreciate it greatly :(
