A listing of all such drugs is beyond the scope of this article.

According to the reading I had done, this is only a partial listing of drugs that should be avoided in pregnant or nursing dogs.
A listing of all such drugs is beyond the scope of this article. If you have any concerns regarding a specific drug, make sure you do an internet search for that particulat drug or purchase a copy of the Revival~Merck Vet Manual to have on-hand.
I don't give my bitches shot or worm went pregnant
it can hurt your babies, it is a hit or miss on them I don't take the changes of my Females ~ Babies they mean a lot to me, I love each and very one of them.
This is why I sometime I don't make a lot of money like some breeds I know I what a good, health, loving family for them.
Fenbendazole (Safe-Guard or Panacur) is one of the safest dewormers on the market. Fasting is not required and it is safe during pregnancy and lactation.
I DON'T GIVE IT TO MY PREGNANT FEMALE'S.
This is a list of the attributes of the Benzimidazole (BZD) type dewormers
such as Fenbendazole:
Thank You
Connie
