regular wormers
After doing some research, I am reconsidering Milbemax for Kenzi. Does anyone know if it is true that you should not stick to one wormer every dose? Also concerned that Milbemax is only one to cover for Lungworm?

I'm not sure on if you should just stick to just one( i'm sure some one will be able to answer this ). I do know there are other wormers that treat lungworm, the only one i can think of at the moment is panacur.

Advocate does cover lungworm but it doesn't over tapeworm.

I think that most people will consider changing wormers each time around,..I personaly havent always done this, I dont know if the dogs system gets used to just one wormer or the worms do

I use Advoate also.

Does feeding raw increase the risk of worms?
