Safety Data Sheet

index finger in the corners of the mouth
behind the eye teeth.

thumb and index finger together tilting
the head back.
J

tongue.
J

over the back of the tongue (all this
should be done as quickly as possible).

COMPATIBILITY
Dogs in hydatid areas should be treated every
6 weeks.
HYDATID TAPEWORM
A single dose of DRONTAL is all that is
required. Dogs in hydatid areas should be
treated every 6 weeks to ensure that newly
acquired hydatid tapeworms are expelled
before reaching maturity.
DOGS SHOULD NOT BE FED, OR ALLOWED TO FEED
ON, OFFAL FROM ANY SPECIES.
It is important to ensure that the dog does not
acquire offal in order to break the life cycle of
the hydatid tapeworm. It should be noted that
hydatid tapeworm poses a severe risk to
human health by transmission to humans
from infected dogs.

GIARDIA

dogs and may be the cause of diarrhoea,
particularly in pups. It is more common
amongst dogs living in multi-dog
households and kennels. _Giardia_ also
occurs in humans and has historically been
considered a potential zoonosis, however
recent studies suggest that host- specif
