The vet has given my dog zipyran. I know this is a worming treatment for 3 month cover. Our dog returnes to UK from Europe next February if he takes the zipyran will this affect him taking tapeworm medication which he has to take 24hours before travelling and travel in the next five days. This has been recorded in his passport.

Hello. Zipyran will take care of tapeworms, in addition to hooks, rounds & whipworms. If Jorge was just administered the zipyran, I would re-administer this before travel back to the UK, or you can use something just for the tapeworms if this is your only concern. Either way will be safe. Thanks for using PetCoach.
