Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Advantage and pregnant bitch

I know I can't use Advantage on my pregnant bitch, but what about the others?  Do you still put it on your other dogs?  Mine all live together and sometimes share beds so wondered if there was a risk to them on they off chance they licked the other dog or just close proximity until absorbed.

I would not use it on any of them if one is pregnant

I would not use anything during pregnancy either.

Thanks - we live in a lungworm area so I really use it for that, but was concerned about using it on the others.  You have echoed my thoughts.

Panacur 10% liquid will work for Lungworm, given at a reduced dose (compared to standard worming) over 7 days.
http://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/MSD_Animal_Health/Panacur_Small_Animal_10_ACU-_Oral_Suspension/-29773.html

"For the control of lungworm Oslerus (Filaroides) osleri in dogs administer 1 ml per 2 kg bodyweight daily for 7 consecutive days (= 50 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight daily for 7 days).

A repeat course of treatment may be required in some cases."

Thanks Brainless, I'd always thought Advantage was the only one licenced to cover lungworm.  I'm giving panacur 10% to my bitch so could give the others this too.

It was the only treatment I think when one of my pups born Feb 2003 had it. 

Owners were in home counties and wondered why she was lacking energy after her spay.

At that time it was only found in the South Coast and South East.

Sorry I did mean flea treatment. Have never used Advantage anyway but do use Panacur during pregnancy and for the pups.
