Does Drontal for cats kill whipworms, or is another medicine better?

Drontal, either Plus or without, is only for removal of worms after your pet has contracted them, it does not prevent them from getting them. If your pet is at risk of picking them up, because they're outside or hunting, then a regular dose can be helpful. The 22.7 mg Drontal plus is labeled for both dogs and cats.

Great question! No, one pill is not enough. Due to the life cycle of the worms, Chiron will need another Drontal tablet two weeks after the first one was given. This will kill the worms who had not yet hatched from eggs when the first tablet was given. I would get another Drontal for him. Best of luck.

Panacur C and Drontal. Plus have the same spectrum of activity. Both control Roundworms, Hookworms, Whipworms, and Tapeworms. So, one is not better than the other in that respect. Drontal is easier to administer since you only need to give one dose; with Panacur you give one dose a day for 3 days in a row.

If you are seeing worms that look like rice, those are tapeworm segments. Panacur can kill some types of tapeworm, but the best drug for it is praziquantel. That is a prescription only drug, and a great brand that contains praziquantel is Drontal. You can try the Panacur, but you may have to go back to your vet to get Drontal. As long as you practice good hygiene (wash your hands after petting him, wash your hands after cleaning his litter box), you should be fine. I hope this helps!

Drontal is a wormer for round worms and hookworms as well as tape worms. Drontal Plus also covers these worms. The Tasty Drontal is a flavored tablet. The other two are tablets for various sizes in dogs. Nasically, they are all the same , just presented in different forms.

From the picture you provided, it looks like Lucy could have roundworms. I recommend giving her either Panacur or Drontal. Both kill roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms, and Drontal will also kill tapeworms. You can get both from your vet's office. As with last time, you should get her one deworming treatment now and then another two weeks later. At that, in order to keep the worms away, she will need to be dewormed every three months. I hope this helps!

Cats do not require heartworm test prior to these medications. Drontal is a good idea to use with these as it covers tapeworms and those products do not. I like advantage multi as I feel it protects against fleas better
