Also, know that not every wormer is specific for all problems. This
spring we had an unusual outbreak of lungworm. The vet noted that
Ivermectin will not treat lungworm, and recommended the Valbazen
drench for it. A fecal assay can save you money and heartbreak:
know what you are treating and you'll stand a better chance of success.
