Sickness after drontal

Hi wormed both dogs thurs with drontal,JRT is having sickness but normal poos.He catches numerous rabbits & eats them if he can & am wondering if this is linked to wormer.He seems ok til he's sick then very sad face😞had some rice this am will get chicken to go with it later,other boy seems fine😊any answers appreciated !

Never had any adverse affects using Dontral on my dogs
Don't know if this could be related to your dogs sickness but there is a significant increase in Liver Fluke in rabbits ,it's attacking what appears to be healthy looking young rabbits sorry to be so graphic it's only when you open them you can see the white nodules on the liver other wise they appear heathy
Hope your dog gets better soon

My Amber was also sick after having Drontal back in February but she kept the next lot down. I am worried that I bought the Drontal off the webb that she sicked up the next lot she kept down I got them direct from the vet. Did you get yours from the net or from a vet? I have heard that some of these tablets you get off the net are not always what they are supposed to be.

Thanks Moyra & Norma808 he's taken himself to bed😞wants no food,did give a little rice first thing but he threw that up about an hr after birds feasting on it!!nice!not sure what to do but will prob call emergency vet for advice after 10 ,he does have sensitive tum but seems odd poo was normal.He is a walking waste disposal unit so suppose that could also be the prob rather/ as well wormer ,his friend is bouncy normal self thankfully😊

Hello Amanda When did the vomiting start. While it isn't uncommon for a dog to vomit after being given a wormer I would not expect the reaction to last more than a couple of hours.
As you wormed the dogs on Thursday I would say there is something else involved here.


In an adult dog I would withhold food for 12 hours from the last vomiting and providing he is is not sick again just give tiny amounts of food every couple of hours.
I would make sure water is available while not allowing gulping lots in one go or it may come back. Better to put a small amount of water down and keep topping it up.

If the vomiting is excessive or continues for 24 hours a trip to the vet is advised unless this is a puppy then 12 hours. It is a good sign that the poo is normal.

As the weather is warm it is ideal conditions for bacteria to breed and scavenging dogs can pick up all sorts of things.
I hope he is better soon

Hi Meg we are off to the vet in a bit,as you say unlikely the wormer,they were very helpful but felt as been going on for a bit would be an idea to see him & he is miserable 😢so an expensive Sunday but hay!!Thanks for your advice which I've done in the past but feel this needs a look at.😕

Amanda - I do hope your little JRT will be OK.

I have always bought from my Vet even though it is more expensive, but at least I know what he gives her.

Hi all thank you,he's got an infection,so anti vomit jab & antibiotics ,chicken & rice to eat!an expensive morning but a rather gorgeous vet!!!aslong as no more vomiting by tomorrow should be fine,if still vomiting they want to see him a agin as will prob have to go on a drip re dehydration,x

I hope the little chap will be better soon Amanda

Fingers crossed he'll be ok...sending get well (( hugs))Kinda takes the edge off the bill when the vet is gorgeous,doesn't it? Let us know how he's getting on xx
