Not sure if it's cheaper or not... and I think 4 mediworm tabs = 1 feline drontal, but don't quote me on that. Consult with your veterinarian before using it in cats or dogs.

Cat rice, lol.

Yes and you'll want to cook that longer than a minute!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself!

We are pea-brained and slightly pea-mented, but we have a good time here on the slightly wild side

Pea-wrestling, cat rice and hundreds of poo pix....

Do you happen to know where I could find generic praziquantel with nothing else? I have pyrantel, but cannot find reasonably priced praziquantel. You are amazing at finding these!

Thought you all might like this (or not, lol).

This is a chicken egg that we found a "Roundworm" in. Readings say that it is common, but its only common when there is a large amount of worms.

I used to work for a "Huckster" who was the go between between the Mennonite community and Washington DC. (late 60's - early 70's) he hauled all kinds of farm produce to the city every week. My sister and I helped him 2 evenings a week to candle and box up the eggs. I have seen round worms in eggs many times. It would be interesting to find out what was used then to worm chickens with.
