Droncit -tape wormQ: I have a large male dog 14+ years old (chico) and he is quite feeble and is ailing. fleas are a problem. i normally and routinely give all my animals (3 cats & two dogs)droncit at least annually. if i see evidence of tape worms then i re-treat as necessary but not more than twice a year. i control fleas as best i can using sentinel for the dogs. i have administered sentinal to chico but am wary of the droncit. i have seen no evidence of tape worms and feel unless i do it's better to forgo the treatment. please advise if i'm on track, also advise consequences of sentinel for chico. also if i do find evidence of tapeworms should a risk the droncit? txs. jane hilsabeck A: Droncit is very safe drug so i would not worry
