Help with worming! Eek I found worms...
Hi all. I rescued a weanling that had been poorly cared for. My vet and I suspected a worm problem. 8 weeks ago we gave a Panacur series. I checked all week (in poop) to see what we were dealing with and zilch-nada. 2 days ago I wormed with Strongid and low and behold I found around a half dozen worms today and yesterday. I think they are Ascarids but they might also be pinworms as they resembled earthworms in size (4-6"s) but were a little lighter in color. Question: 2 of them were still alive! I thought that wormers killed them? Because I have found worms should I adopt a special program or just stick with a regular 6 week rotation for the time being? If they have migrated will the wormer still get rid of them? NE knowledgeable advise appreciated!
