Deworming and safety of rabies vaccine in black bears

Dr Usman, [05 Sep 2023 at 09:35:07]:

Can somebody help me:

  1. What's the best drug for internal parasites in black bear cubs (dosage and frequency)
  2. Can I use canine/ feline rabies vaccine? (at what age?) 

 

Can I use this vaccine?

Inactivated rabies vaccine is fine.

Deworming depends on challenge, worm burden, environment where the animals are kept, type of worms that are a problem, etc.

Do a faecal exam first.

Thanks

If there is a need to deworm, you can safely use any dog dewormer at the dose recommended for dogs.

If they are kept intensively, regular cleaning of the pen must be done.

Routine deworming could be done every 4 months
