Abstract
THIENPONT et al.1 reported on the anti-helminthic potency of a new synthetic drug named tetramisole which, when given in a single dose, was effective against many of the intestinal and pulmonary nematodes of fourteen mammalian species. In the absence of any information on the host's reaction to tetramisole given for 30 to 40 days, an experiment was designed with the primary objective of testing the acceptance of daily doses of the drug by dogs from pounds. A secondary objective was to detect any therapeutic activity against adult Dirofilaria immitis.
