I started a thread on Siu Pao's condition a few days ago. Here is the thread:-

Vet prescribed Drontal Plus and he took it 5 days ago. I came to find out that it is the best de-wormer. This morning, I still see worm eggs in his stool and poop still mucus like. Why are the worms so persistent? Is this normal? Sometimes he poop like usual, about 2-3 times a day, sometimes he poop 4-5 times a day. I have been cleaning up his poop and the yucky eggs as best as I could. Can the worms be so persistent? How come there are so many eggs still of there are no more worms? I will bring a stool sample for a faecal test tomorrow but the worm eggs are very visible. They look exactly like the eggs you see in the link here under roundworms

Meanwhile, what else can I do?
