Milbeworm

Hey All, My dog has been given Mipet Milbeworm for parasites but when I have looked at the booklet and online I cannot see anywhere that suggests it protects from lungworm and heart worm. can anyone confirm if it does cover this? thanks!

Hello!  We do not give advice on specific drugs or patients, but I cut and pasted the following from the Drug company's online advertising:  'for the treatment and prevention of infestations of ADULT tapeworms and roundworms and can also be used in the prevention of heartworm disease if concomitant' (i.e. additional, at the same time) 'treatment against cestodes is indicated (needed).' This is not a product I am familiar with, but I take it to mean that, since cestodes can use other worms as a 'middle' host, killing the 'middle hosts' will help with Cestode control and this drug can help by doing that.  This may not the same as saying 'will kill any cestodes.' The best way to approach worming is to speak to your vet or nurse, who will know the product combinations they are recommending extremely well and will also be aware of the parasites your pet is at risk of, thus ensuring that none will be missed.  Do they recommend covering your pet against the larval stages of worms, for example?  Are these a concern to your particular pet?  Once you have the appropriate information, you will be in a good position to make the right decision either way.  Most vets will discuss worming for very low cost and some don't charge at all for worming advice.
