I would think not but best to give the vet a ring tomorrow to check that you can give her another one as worming tabs are pretty toxic things so best to be on the safe side.

The vet can give you a spot on wormer if the pill causes a problem  but it cannot be used closer than two weeks to a drop on flea med ;D

I have to buy a mixture of Drontal and Milbemax - Drontal makes Mellika sick and Milbemax makes Raffiki sick, the others are all fine with either.
