Worms can be a serious threat to your dog's health & wellbeing, so routine worming every 3 months is essential. For dogs between 2 and 20kg use Drontal Tasty Bone Wormer Tablets for Small and Medium Dogs (2 to 20kg): The adult tapeworm is small (1-4mm) and resides in the intestinal tract of the definitive host (wild or domestic canids). Eggs from the adult tapeworm are shed in the feces. Rodents such as mice and voles serve as the intermediate host. Eggs ingested by rodents develop in the liver, lungs and other organs to form multilocular cysts. The life cycle is completed after a canid consumes a rodent infected with cysts. Larvae within the cyst develop into adult tapeworms in the intestinal tract of the canid. Eggs may be passed in the feces of the canid approximately 28 days later. Do not use in pregnant dogs during the 1st and 2nd third of pregnancy. A single treatment during the last third of pregnancy or during lactation has been demonstrated safe.Craig PS and McPharson CNL. 1988. Sodium Hypochlorite as an Ovicide for Echinococcus.
