Abstract

This field trial was conducted to determine whether 40 or 75. mg/kg of praziquantel is suitable for treatment of fishborne zoonotic trematodes (FZT) in naturally infected dogs (n=10) and cats (n=11). Three days after treatment all animals at either dose were negative for small trematode eggs. In two cats and one dog treated with 75. mg/kg, however, a few damaged eggs were found 3 days post-treatment; no small trematode eggs were seen in these animals at day 14 post-treatment. In addition, at the 75. mg dose, two cats and two dogs experienced vomiting or diminished appetite. Therefore a praziquantel dose of 40. mg/kg is suggested for treatment of FZT in dogs and cats.
