Default can this be used?

I was having a look at the tort first aid kit and seen you should get drontal puppy suspension and panacur....I found this site and was wondering if I could get the panacur 2.5% dog cat puppy and kitten stuff for the torts? or the puppy suspension? cos I think it may be about time to worm my lot again but was thinking of getting the stuff my self.

hi
last year under a vets supervision i was worming with panacur
after 3 treatments my torts still had a high worm burdon

so under vets supervision i was advised to use drontal puppy suspension

this cleared up the worms after 2 doses

read about it here page 9 in the newsletter

thanks linda I spoke to the vet about it today when I took rex back anyway and he said he wouldn't recommend it anyway he'd rather stomach tube them, so I'm going to have to get another carry case as I found out the hermanns have grown out of theres now and make a gang visit to the vet soon lol, I'l have to get one of those little wagon things soon and load all the carriors on one of those for the walk from the car lol.

Thank you lol, there still only small but i'm up to 3 carry cases when I get the third so moi on my own with 3 should be fun.

i'll still stick to the vet like you said you were under vet supervision so I wouldn't like to toddle off to the shop get some and just give it a go yet, I'll leave the worming to the pros for now, i'll just be the donkey luging them all there lol. It's gunna be fun when the reds are fully grown they will need a car seat each lol.
