Tapeworm, yecht!!!!

[thndrdancr]

OK, I just discovered a tapeworm problem in one of my outside cats. My dog is being treated for it monthly as the vet found some in august along w his heartworm treatment.

Looking back on it, I bet that was a tapeworm in my roosters poo when I found him dying on my coop floor. Also probably why my birds I can't catch and dose (guineas and older peas) are not looking well.

Question for anyone who might know, is there any way to dose in their water for tapeworm. I read praziquantel. I can't use oregano on my cats as it makes them throw up, and some of my older birds are almost uncatchable. So I need a way to dose everyone!

Aww crap!

You can use fish praziquatel for your cats, but you should give it orally, not in water, so if it's powder, you need a gram scale.

Take a tube of dewormer paste and spread it on a slice of bread like butter. Figure out the appropriate dose and size. Tear a piece off and toss it to the birds. Works like a charm on my semi wild guineas.

I would not use Zimectrin gold in cats.

You can buy one product for peafowl, chickens, cats and dogs, but it would require doing a little math and dosing each animal by weight. The product I would use is called Mediworm, it has the same ingredients as Drontal.
