Should I give her meds today or wait?

[Crazy4Herps]

My poor girl has some pinworms and is on meds for it.

Last Thursday I gave her her first dose. She was due for another a few days ago, but I wasn't home Thursday or Friday, so that didn't work out.

Now, of course, she is in shed. She's been darkening up for a while. I haven't had her out for a while (really busy week), so I haven't been keeping tabs on her shed cycle, but I believe now she is in the day-before-shed stage where her eyes turn dark again.

My question is: should I give her meds today, or wait for her to shed?

Hi,

How are you administering the medication?

Have you asked the vet what they think is best with the gap already in the tratment? Might be worth a phonecall.

Yes give her the meds.

Hi,

Even if it is via injection?

I honestly don't know - that's why I suggested the vet etc.

Never had to treat for them so have no clue what is being used.

Panacur via mouth.

She is only a few days off schedule for meds. She's supposed to get them weekly. Weekends work better for me anyways; I get home late Thursdays.

Cool,

No problems with injecting through the layers of skin and fluid while shedding then.

Ok, thanks.
