My Collie mix dog, has a Multi-Drug Resistance Gene. (Mrd1*) She has always taken Droncit, 50 mg. (3 pills), for Tapeworms. I have a new Vet now, and he suggested giving her Droncit by Injection, if she reacts to the Dolpac 10 he wants to try her
None of these medications should cause problems related to Tasha's MDR1 gene. Personally, I prefer giving oral deworming medications rather than injections, but as I said, this is purely personal preference. Either Droncit or Dolpac 10 should be effective to treat tapeworms and it should not be an issue to administer the additional active ingredients in Dolpac 10. Many deworming medications contain more than one active ingredient and simply provide for a more broad spectrum of treatment. If Tasha would experience a reaction to the Dolpac 10 (which would be quite unusual), you could also ask your vet if he can prescribe Droncit tablets from either a local or online pharmacy if you are more comfortable with this course of treatment.

Can a Petco vet prescribe tick and flea medicine?
Petco carries a variety of flea and tick medication over the counter. You can only get a prescription product from a veterinarian if they have examined Bruno. Petco does offer vaccine clinics but you would need to check with the specific services individually. Here is a link: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi, my dog (30kg) has worms and I gave him Droncit (from vet practice). However I now think he actually has roundworm which droncit does not kill. Can I use another tablet such as nitroscanate to cover all bases? How long should I waiting before givi
I would wait one week before giving the nitroscanate since it also contains a medication to treat tapeworms (as does the Droncit). If you can give a different dewormer that does not contain a tapeworm medication (like Drontal - not Drontal Plus) then you can give it now.

You would need a current prescription from a veterinarian who has physically examined Duke. You can then place your order and submit the prescription. The pharmacy will then contact the veterinarian or clinic to confirm the prescription then fill the order.

Is there a over the counter medication for tapeworms that are for cats and that do not cost a lot
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I'm not sure what your budget is but I like Droncit or Cestex which only get tapeworms. I like Drontal Plus because it gets tapeworm and other worms as well. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3464 I hope this helps!
