Internal Deworming - Fenbendazole, removes tapeworms, roundworms, etc.
Fenbendazole (often abbreviated FBZ) is used in both large and small animals. In dogs, it is useful against roundworms, hookworms, and the more difficult-to-treat whipworms. It is effective against the Taenia species of tapeworm. It is also effective against Giardia (an intestinal protozoan that causes diarrhea) as well as several species of lungworm and even some flukes.
When a pet has chronic diarrhea and a cause cannot be found through testing, it is common to give fenbendazole for several days in a row as a general broad-spectrum dewormer; the idea is that most parasites of significance will be removed by it even if they escaped detection in testing.
