You have to treat specifically for the kind the dog has. Green hulled black walnut works great on tapeworms. How can he get another kind of worm? It has to do with what you feed the dog. Kibble fed dogs are much more likely to pick up worms, infections etc because their health is compromised. |

For that reason, when veterinarians perform fecal floatations looking for parasite eggs, tapeworms are often overlooked. Because the eggs are passed by the pet in packets (segments), they often do not show up on the fecal exam. (The packet must break open for the eggs to be seen.) To make a long story short, if you can keep your pet from eating fleas, rabbit, mouse or rat viscera it won't get a tapeworm. The intermediate host is required. If there is a source of re-infection, vets often treat a second dose three weeks later. Since this is the stage between ingestion, hatching, and attachment in the intestine, where the droncit removed the protective layer of the tapeworm after it attaches, and then gets ingested and passed (You won't see any eggs released) I would guess there was an infection present at the time you adopted him and are just now seeing the shedding of segments as the tapeworm has gone full lifecycle and is now reproducing. |

Why use it when there are much safer alternatives? Fleas can kill a dog. Flea allergies, diseases carried by fleas. Fleas are extremely important to control. Frontline has been extremely widely used and is quite safe. Furthermore, it's far more effective than most other flea treatments. Animals are fare more likely to be oversaturated with flea treatments and get poisoned when owners bomb *and* use flea collars (ineffective) *and* bathe in flea ointments (ineffective). Oh and to the poster, Chardonnay is one of our local kooks. Most of us don't killfile her simply because she gives out so much erroneous and potentially dangerous information that it's important to keep tabs. |

Why use it when there are much safer alternatives? Fleas can kill a dog. Flea allergies, diseases carried by fleas. Fleas are extremely important to control. Yes they are! Frontline has been extremely widely used and is quite safe. Furthermore, it's far more effective than most other flea treatments. It is *not* safe! Spot-On Pesticides such as Frontline, Zodiac, Defend, Bio Spot, Adams and Advantage trigger adverse reactions in dogs and cats, shorten life spans, cause terminal illness, and premature death. . The active ingredients in these solutions include chemicals such as imidacloprid, fipronil, permethrin, methoprene, and pyriproxyfen, all of which have caused serious health problems in animals in laboratories.2 Even some of the inert ingredients can be hazardous to your animal companion’s health. Other forms of flea control—powders, collars, and sprays—are no less dangerous to you or your companion animals. Labels may warn not to get these substances on your skin, to wash your hands after applying it, and to keep it away from children, yet these chemicals are absorbed by your animal’s skin. Immediate effects of pesticide overdose include vomiting, diarrhea, trembling, seizures, and respiratory problems. If your dog or cat shows any of these symptoms after the application of a pesticide, immediately wash the product off and seek veterinary care. Animals are fare more likely to be oversaturated with flea treatments and get poisoned when owners bomb *and* use flea collars (ineffective) *and* bathe in flea ointments (ineffective). Why use anything that can poison a dog when there are other alternatives? Diatomaceous earth is a great one, as is boric acid. A flea comb costs about a dollar. And just vacuuming more often does wonders too. And then there are nematodes which are totally non toxic. Flea repellents made with natural ingredients like essential oils also help. Fleas, like any parasite, are more attracted to the weak animals. That means that merely by feeding a species appropriate diet will cut down on fleas due to superior health. Our pets are surrounded by so many chemicals just like us humans are, and it's showing in the cancer rates for all of us. Frontline is a poison and so are many things we give our pets internally like heartworm "preventatives". Add to that the presence of poisons around your average home. Bug killers on the lawn, various toxic sprays used in and around the house, even things like Febreeze and bleach can cause cancer, allergies and lots more. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.co...m#testimonials Anyone who would tell people that Frontline is safe is not someone you should be listening to! |
