Our vet recommends Millbemax which is prescription only.

Our Vet acutally recommends drontal, Last time I gave Riley the bone shaped tablet. He was fine with it.

That's interesting Jane as I think those can be bought without prescription for much cheaper than the vet selling millbemax  :003:

Jacqui I bought a few of the bone shaped ones. I think they were £1.63 each.

check on other worming posts - a lot of us have had issues with adult drontal causing acute vomiting and dia-wotsit. 

I would use Milbemax over Drontal any day given the effect it had on Jarvis the last time I used it :020: :fear2:

I use Milbemax too. It works against lungworm too, I am not sure if Drontal does?

Milbemax here too - I asked the vet about lungworm and he showed me the information stating that it covers lungworm.  I am not sure to what extent though.

Same here. Poor Wills definitely has "dire-rear" and vomiting if he has Drontal :020: but is fine with Milbemax.

We use cestem, covers ringworm & tapeworm. Holly's always been fine with them.
Drontal makes her poorly.

Im amazed at how many doggies are poorly after drontal.
Ive given riley the syrup three times (once that day he brought up tiny bit food) but was otherwise fine.
Then last month I gave him the drontal bone shaped tablet in two halves and was fine.

Our experiences are just the opposite - James was poorly-sick after milbemax, but our vet said that it was just co-incidence. Next time he was given Milbemax, he was SO poorly - sickness, lethargy, dia-wotsits, not eating, not drinking etc. had to be re-hydrated...... again vet said it was unusual for milbemax to be the culprit. This time I wormed him with drontal - no problem what so ever, so the conclusion..? It depends on the dog, but be alert to possible problems!!!!!
