Title: Wormer that won't kill worms in my dog poo wormery
Post by: suziequeue on June 23, 2011, 09:57:42 pm

I have a dog poo wormery and I am concerned that the wormer will kill the worms in the wormery.

We use Advocate monthly and Drontal every three months

Has anybody got any ideas what could be effective against worms in my dog but won't kill the worms in my wormery?

How about contacting the manufacturer (Bayer I think) if they can't tell you it will give them something to think about

Never thought of that. I bet it's fine because it's a different kind of worm. Yes, let us know!
