Can dewormers be used for a wolf?

Answer by  worker2746 (2434)

A wolf is part of the canine family and you could use dewormers for a wolf just as you would a domestic canine. One needs to ensure the meat and food is not infested that the wolf is eating, as they are more likely to eat decaying meat and cause a problem.

I would assume so, since they can be used on domesticated dogs. Though, I am not a wild animal caretaker. Ask the tourguide next time you go to the zoo.

I would be careful with giving medication to a wild animal and consult a veterinarian before medicating your wolf. However, wolves are related to domestic dogs and I don't THINK that anything unexpected would happen.

Since wolves are canines closely related to dogs I would say any type of dewormer that would be used for large dogs that weigh similar to wolves.

Yes, they can be used. However, I must add that you should be very careful, as this is not a safe this to do. Even if the wolf is tame, there are chances of him getting scared of the dewormer. Also,if needed,you could sedate him and then try and give it. This should work.
