The wormer will only stay in their system for a day or two after that it will be all gone so no need to carry on poo picking, unless you want too

Not quite true as the withdrawal period is 28 days ,so at a guess id say it stays in the system for

You guessed it 28 days !!;

I guess sometimes it can be tricky to get the tone right with these messages..... Yes a 28 day withdrawal will give the most thorough clean out but that is for trace levels in the meat. The GI system will be clear in a couple of days so the faeces will have most of the contamination in the first 48 hours.

Not being picky at all just curious but do you have any proof to back up the above statement ?

Verdifish, you are quite right that the supplier label date of 28 days is the best thing to follow and you are not being picky in asking. There is plenty of proof regarding how different animals excrete various drugs in the science literature and of course at the detail level this is species and even individual animal specific to specific drugs but the major pathways are consistent, I had responsibility for AH drug development in 2 major pharma companies, including work on some of these wormers so my comment was based on knowledge, but I don't have papers in front of me it is not right to imply not following the suppler label except under Vets guidance. I was merely saying that poo picking in the first 48 hours is important, after that less so. Maybe worth asking your vet, although they are not necessarily knowledgeable on clearance rates.
