What home remedy gets rid of worms in 6 week old puppies?

Answer 1

New AnswerI would not give a dog garlic, as the first answerer stated. Garlic can be toxic to dogs. An excellent home remedy / chemical-free remedy is diatomaceous earth. It is a fine powder that can be sprinkled on your dog, on his bed, in his food, or anywhere else you don't want fleas and other bugs. Each microscopic grain of the powder has sharp edges that cut through an insects waxy coating, causing the bug to dry out, killing it. It does not harm people or pets. AnswerI don't know if it can be called a home remedy per se, but fleas do not like garlic, so a lot of people slip some garlic into their dog food. Dogs like the taste of it, too, so it's a win-win!

Answer 2

No, and I would suggest avoiding anything you find on the internet claiming to be "safer", "better" or "cheaper" than what you get from your veterinarian. There are three major types of worms that dogs and cats can get: roundworms and hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms. Each requires a completely different medication.

Honestly, a fecal float at your vet clinic should be $10-15, and the medication is generic, extremely safe and dirt cheap from a veterinarian.

Answer 3

No. There are no home remedies for treating dogs with worms, and some of the home "remedies" can even be harmful to the dog. But it doesn't cost that much to have your dog treated for worms. You can get worm treatments at pet supply stores, farm co-op stores, and even other types of stores such as Wal Mart (as long as you know the type of worm), as well as from your vet. And please be sure to always follow the directions as prescribed.

Answer 4

If it is inside them, take them to the vet and get them tested for heart worm and they will give you medications for the puppies to take. There are many different typed of medications depending on how severe the problem is. Considering that they are only 6 weeks old, it must not be too sever so there will be no harm to the dogs when they take the medications. That is really the only way to treat the problem.

Answer 5

See your vet and get worm capsules. It isn't all that expensive. Don't try home remedies or you could very well make the puppies sick. Think of it this way .... what would you do if your baby had a problem with worms (and kids can get worms)? I hardly think you would self medicate them even if it was herbal. Herbal rememdies are not 100% safe either.

Answer 6

There are not proven safe, effective home remedies for deworming puppies. You should have a fecal examination performed by your vet to determine what parasites your puppy has and then get an appropriate dewormer.

Answer 7

try to give him a little garlic

Answer 8

Take your dog to the vet!
