yes, I’m aware that label says it’s good for treating, but in my vet’s experience it’s rarely the case that topical dewormers are effective in existing infestation of GI parasites, even if the label claims it is. Especially that, although they’re supposed to last a month, after two weeks, when the larvae’s appear, it’s not necessarily strong enough to kill all of them, some would survive and the cycle continues. Hopefully it won’t be the case with Giada though and stronghold will be enough!
