Abstract
Extract Forbes and Whitten ( 1961 Forbes, L. S. and Whitten, L. K. 1961. N.Z. vet. J., 9: 101–101. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ) recorded field observations on the purgative efficiency of arecoline hydrobromide and have reported that, after administering the drug in solution, 81 per cent, of their dogs purged within a 2-hour period with a median time from dosing to purgation of 30 minutes. Purgation was considered to be produced when the dog passed liquid or semi-liquid faeces containing mucus, from the small intestine, which. is the essential material for cestode diagnosis.Keywords
