I have a 5 month old domestic medium hair who developed at slight bulge in her abdomen about a week ago. My vet gave me 2 doses of Pryantel- one to be taken immediatly, and the second in 3 weeks. After the first dose, I have not noticed any improvements to her condition- the abdomen may even be slightly larger. In her first 2 bowel movements after taking the medicine, I was able to see a few thin white worms, however I have not seen anything like that since. The stool is otherwise completely normal.
I did call the vet back after a few days to report this, and they stated that the abdomen swelling may not go down until after a few weeks of the SECOND dose. I just find it hard to believe that she is getting better if she is not passing any worms that I can see.
Has anyone had experience using Pyrantel for deworming? When did you first notice the abdomen swelling start to go down?
Thank you
