Levasole probably is no more...so LEVASOL and TRAMISOLE or what you need to look for...back when I used this wormer the pill wormed a forty pound goat and the procedure called for the same weight of the dog...so my feeling is that these wormers should be used the same...the message above says that this wormer is toxic but the dogs might show symptoms but the dogs I treated never showed any reaction to the medication...Foster and Smith said the same thing...this wormer can also be used for hooks and rounds but I never have...
