Worming Medication

[Brina6166]

Sorry for the influx of threads today

I just remembered that tomorrow is when I should administer Honda's second worming. I have the pre-measured medication, but my question is:

is it safe to administer it after the medication has been exposed to different temperatures? I was never told to refrigerate it, so I didn't. It has been left in my purse (accident more than design) and therefore has been in very cold (25 degrees lowest I would say) to indoors temps (our thermostat is at 70 degrees) so the medication has not been kept at a consistent temperature. I kept remembering that I should take it out, but needless to say, in the last week forgot. So the time has come to administer it tomorrow and I don't know if I should, or try and get new medicine...

Call your Vet that gave it to you and ask. I don't have to referigerate Nemex which is what I use.

I agree with Teresa. Depends on which meds you were doing, but the vet would know..

Okay, however it is not my vet, it is from when the breeder brought the pups. I suppose I can call, but they don't have a formal vet record or anything for her. Hmm, doesn't hurt though. The wormer is Strongid T.

Call the vet and tell them the name and situation- they should be able to tell you. I would think it would be alright, but a phone call is worth all the worry in the world. ( now- where are more pictures??? lol )

Alright, I'll give them a ring tomorrow. Thanks everyone, I know some medications are uber sensitive and some none at all.

Well I planned to take her out to a park and get some action shots, but I was a bad mommy and fell asleep on the bed with her instead lol. I'll add some action shots to the picture thread tomorrow. I just fall more in love with her each minute. She really is like my child! I mean, how can someone not love this face :]

Strongid T doesn't need to be in the fridge and can be given every 2 weeks its the safest of all wormers I do believe. The bad part is that you can under dose it or pup spit some out and it doesn't work as well.
