Hi!My 5 months old collie just had a letter from the vets saying shes due a worming treatment.She was last wormed with milbemax(spelling may be wrong)which I have since learned is not suitable for collie breeds.Could anyone tell me why,please?Also,which wormer would you reccomend?I just checked out the reviews for drontal,which were good,but not sure if this is suitable for a pup?Thanks in advance!

aah,similar post in "general",thanks for the info, brainless!

i take it that drontal is ok for a 5 month old?

Drontal puppy yes, I think the multi-wormer is from 6 months but not sure, just the way I have done it.  Mine get a Multi-wormer once a year in Summer and Panacur at other times.

I use Hyperdrugs own Easimax Plus that has the same active ingredients and strengths as Drontal, but cheaper.

ok,thankyou-ive just realised she will be 6months on the 23rd!time flies!

hi ive just got a colli pup and have found out the same thing after the vet had already given me milbemax!!!!! apperantly you should deffinatley Not give it to collies unless they have been DNA tested!!! i told my vet that i dont want my pup on milbemax and she has now given me DRONTAL which she said is fine for collies! if you have a look at the other topics you should find the one i posted about worming, very helpfull responses hopefully it will help you out as well!

If you have already used milbemax with her and she had no bad reaction, then you will be fine using this again.

I wouldn't count on it often in cases of allergies or sensitivities the first time it is encountered just primes the immune response and the bad reaction occurs next time, just not worth the risk.
