[QUOTE="Stressed2theHilt, post: 18606, member: 1409"] The white "chalky" medication was Panacur. If one pet in the household has whips or hooks, pretty much a given that they all do. The flea growth inhibitor is called Precor and there are a ton of products that include it. I could give you a good website for ordering larger quantities with much better prices than you'd pay in the stores for. You'll find a lot of pet stores selling the baby turtles for educational or research purposes. I tried to buy one under educational purposes once. Got it bagged and to the counter and went to pay. When I pulled my wallet out and they caught a glimpse of my badge. "Sorry, we really can't sell these" and the sale never completed. That'll teach me to pay cash instead of using my bank card. I ended up getting mine from an alternative source. Something to keep in mind about having fecal floats done. A negative is not definatively a negative. It just means that that particular sample didn't show any eggs. Your dog can have a heavy infestation and still show negative. The results on depend on the timing. If it is a newer infestation the worms may not have started laying eggs yet. It can take months for the eggs to show in a fecal sample. Then again, if someone was reading the slide to quickly, they could have easily missed the evidence. It happens. All dogs get worms and should be wormed annually or more often as recommended by your vet. Dogs that go outside much need to be wormed more often. [/QUOTE]
