Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Hi, my dog had a worm in her poop and I went to pick her up some anti parasite from Tractor Supply but was overwhelmed by the selections. Need some recommendations so I can pick some up tomorrow.
fenbendazole, Ivermectin is used on those parasite monthly treatments, that gets fleas and worms. A worm that is visible may be a tape worm, which comes from fleas. There are some breeds of dogs in the collie family that cannot tolerate Ivermectin, its a gene they carry, Aussies, English Shepherds, and Scottish Collies being in that group, it can cause seizures, so, I would research that. fenbendazole is very safe for all breeds, but if it is tapeworms, you have to get rid of the fleas too.

Ivermectin injectable liquid can apparently be dropped on tongues or into drinks, I'd guess. Fenbendazole is a common dog dewormer, and bonus cancer treatment and preventer.
