I may be a tad behind the times here. Do they still make these 2 products ??? We used 2 use "hookshot" or "ivomec-with a local in it" so it doesn't burn em when injecting it. If U have a real stubborn hookworm problem I suggest using 1 of these products IF they r still available + give ya K9's a large 35kg "Drontal" tablet as well in the morning at the same time, that should blow em right out ! Ha. Back in the day some "old timers" gave em "naema's" & that stuff would clean em right out big time BUT would knock the K9's around 4 a coupla days & not sure if they r made any more either. If U can get some of those they WILL solve ANY worm problem ! Ha. Best way I've found is DON'T feed ya K9's their tea the night b4 worming, walk em in the morning so they r 100% "empty" then crush up the tablets put em inside 2-3 meatballs & give it 2 em as their b/fast after the injections. Then feed em briskit bones 4 tea that night so everything inside gets cleaned right out. Also suggest if ya got a stubborn worm infestation thoroughly clean & treat your "yards" 2 prevent eggs etc & it happening again + try not 2 let ya K9's "sniff" the grass as much as possible at "popular" K9 places as they can pick up eggs etc fast & thats how quick re-infestations occur. Hope this may have helped in some way Dave. Regards...
thanks steve ..sounds like some good advice there ...i will definitely employ sopme of those tactics ...when ive used tablets on empty stomach ive caught em biling emselves out ....just enough mest balls to give em something inside and the bones idea sounds good too follow
