Are any lungworm meds prescription free?

I have noticed that in other countries you do not need a vet prescriptions for lung worm medication ..
And read of one Australian online store that ship to the uk with out prescriptions needed ...

Have had horror stories about companies that send POM to the UK without a prescription - from generic or out of date medication, to complete fakes. Some companies aren't even legit at all and will be impossible to get hold of as their 0800 numbers won't ring through to anywhere and their emails will be ignored. Don't think it's worth taking the risk with my pets' lives for the sake of saving a few quid IMO.

Panacur is used for lung worm treatment and you don't need a prescription.

The directions are on the packet

Brilliant! I've been trying to find out about this myself! Thankyou xx

Youn give 1/2 normal dose for weight 3 days on the trot

I thought it was a 7-10 day course - when I priced it up it was more expensive to use than Advocate because of the length of treatment That was a little while ago though

It's worth asking your vet whether you have lungworm in your area. I asked mine and he said in 35 years he has never seen one case of it.

you are right 7 days 1/2 dose. here is the link to vet medic with dosage and prices so you can decide for your self

but its here and here to stay....just because one vet thinks he hasnt seen it doesnt mean its not rife...it is,and symptoms are not always that obvious..such as 'bleeding out' in routine surgery etc.... i wont risk my dogs health...the other worms are nothing in comparison
