What is the best way of deworming a dog instead of giving harmful deworming tablets to be given after every 2 months that are suggested by a veterinary doctors .TIA
Dr. Tajunnisa M
There's no natural remedy or substitute for deworming. You can deworm your pet once in 4/5 months after reaching one year. The vegetables and fruits rich in fibre can only help in easy expulsion of worms with stools but they have no antihelmintic activity.
Dr. Anukarna Singh
It's very important for you to deworm your pet regularly using allopathic deworming meds initially, which can later be used in combination with some enzyme based dewormers. The worms that your pet might be carrying (if the mother is not dewormed approximately) can also harm you or your family members. Considering the fact that dogs no matter how careful you are lick their paws after walks and lick contaminate water sometimes it's very important to deworm. If given at appropriate doses the meds will not harm

Hi
The vet in my place gave my dog the below medication along with tablets (acceptor, nerveon, gloweye)
He is 8.3KGs (Lhasa apso) and is 9yrs and 10 months old.
We went to see the doctor because he had a problem with vision and movement.
After an hour or two of medication, he started shivering and his fever shot up.
Always keeping his eyes shut, not eating and breathing fast. It's been 8hours since the medication (at the time of writing the post)
His shivers have come down, and fever also come down (but still there).
However he is still drowsy and his breathing/heartbeat is fast.
I think it's an overdose of the medicine
Will it wear off in a few hours or is there a threat of permanent damage??
Should I take him to a nearby vet quickly?
Since the doctor and hospitals are different I'm afraid if the treatment given at the new place will cause further complications)
I have an appointment at the hospital where he got the injection tomorrow where I'll be explaining the situation.
But what to do now?2 likes•5 comments•128 views
