My dog has roundworms. Can I give Heartgard Plus and Nemex 2?

Did you mean Pyrantel? Yes, it's ok to give pyrantel along with her normal heartworm prevention. make sure to have her stool checked again after treatment to be sure the infection is cleared. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Yes, you can give tapeworm specific medication alongside heartgard plus. Remember that tapeworms can be transmitted by fleas so you should keep up to date with flea prevention in order to reduce tapeworm burden

Yes this should be fine and shouldn't cause him any harm. I just wouldn't give them on the same day. You will need to deworm today and repeat it in 3 weeks to help get ride of the hookworms. I would then have your vet check a stool lsample to ensure they are gone. I hope this helps!

You can give him Drontal, which kills tapeworms. Heartgard contains ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate, while Drontal contains praziquantel which is needed to kill tapeworms. Do not give them that the same time, but it's fine to give a day or two apart.

Hello, you should expect a die off period of 3-5 days after administration of the medication. Because it is administered orally, most roundworms and hookworms begin to die almost immediately, but it may take up to 3-5 days to have complete clearance of worms. You may recheck a stool sample in 10 days to ensure there are not more parasites noted. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Nemex-2 kills roundworms and hookworms. Roundworms look like spaghetti, while typically you don't see evidence of hookworms in the feces without a microscope (this technique would show their eggs in the feces). I'm wondering if that you are seeing is a segment of tapeworm, which looks like a grain of rice. If that describes what you are seeing, then Nemex-2 does not kill tapeworms. You need a deworming medication that contains praziquantel to kill tapeworms, and an excellent deworming treatment that contains praziquantel is Drontal. You can get it from your vet. Given Luke's age, he should be dewormed every two weeks until he is three months of age, so you get a Drontal from your vet to give to him two weeks after you first gave him the Nemex-2. Given that he's eating and playing just fine, I wouldn't be worried about him. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Tri heart plus kills roundworms, so it sounds like the medication is working. You do not need to give Thor anything else at the moment. Given him another dose of deworming medication in two weeks to kill all the worms.
