Sue, before going to the vets in France I re-read the DEFRA factsheet and decided not to ask the vet to use the worming tablets I had taken for Brodie. For the flea treatment the factsheet specified that the treatment had to be one that was recognized in the country you were leaving from, but it didn’t make this same statement for the wormer. I decided to play it safe and just use what the local vet used as standard. However next time round I will call DEFRA to ensure what I normally use is suitable since Brodie did not react well to the Drontal treatment. The vet said the Drontal jag would be uncomfortable as the liquid was thick; Brodie was not impressed and after 3 bent needles he’d received the full dose. Then about 2 hours later he was quite sick and was not his normal self for the rest of the day. It’s difficult to say how long he was not himself for, as the next 2 days were spent travelling. Having had this experience during and after the jag I’d prefer to stay clear of Drontal for Brodie, so next time I’ll speak to DEFRA to ensure his normal wormer is an acceptable treatment.
