Ours are pretty good about being dewormed, though I like to hold their chins up for a moment or two just to make sure they don't spit a gob of it out. Then treats follow immediately... > So--now that they're wormed I'm set for another 2 months and then > which wormer would I use? Well I dewormed with something called "Safeguard" last night. It's fenbendazole. I don't normally use that for some reason. I've always alternated between moxidectin or ivermetcin Next, I'll either deworm with "Quest" (moxidectin) or with a generic type of Ivermectin. All of these I ordered through Jeffer's for about the half the price I normally spend on deworming per year. Actually it probably cost less than half. I can spend anywhere from 17.99 to 25.00 for a tube of dewormer here, and the most I spent was 8.95 (for the Quest). That's a substantial saving. Wanda
