I brought in a fecal today for an abandoned cat we decided to take in and they said he has hook worms and tape worms. I was given two different medications- five days of Panacur and one day of Praziquantel (actual brand name not on vial) and told I would not need to repeat this in two weeks. I am a bit confused because our deworming protocol was so different at the shelter…so is what we were told by the vet correct?
I don't know if things have changed in the past few years for deworming info and it will still be a few weeks before we introduce him to the other animals, but I just don't want everyone to get infected if we were told wrong.
