Valbezen and dogs

[ozarkchick]

I know my chickens have round worms (saw them in a setting hens green diarrhea.). And I know my Australian Shepard eats chicken poop. I have wormed my flock with 1/2 cc valbezon and will do so again 10 days later. Can I worm my Aussie with valbezon? I mention the breed because I remember that we were unable to use one of our goat wormers on our border collies. Can't remember if it was ivermectin or valbezon and don't know if Aussies are included in the collie breeds...

I would not use it... Valbazen (albendazole) can cause aplastic anemia in some animals and death in pigeons, doves and crias.

Ivermectin is the one that you shouldn't use on Collie breeds.

I think that Pyrantel Pamoate and Praziquantel are the recommended wormers for dogs, but I'm not 100% positive.
