What is the best dewormer a vet can give a puppy?

Breeding females can pass parasites to their pups both in the womb and through milk, so deworming the female is extremely important. Most of the commonly used dewormers on the market in the US for dogs can be used in pregnant animals, but the specific times to deworm to prevent infection of pups before and right after birth should be discussed with your veterinarian as the recommendations are different for the different deworming drugs.


Should you give your puppy worm medicine although she has no signs of worms?

Yes, it is recommended to give your puppy regular deworming medication as a preventative measure, even if there are no signs of worms. Puppies are at high risk for worms, and deworming can help prevent potential health issues. Consult with your veterinarian for the best deworming schedule for your puppy.


How do you worm a puppy under 5 pounds when it says on the wormer bottle not to use under 5 pounds and your puppy weighs 1.5 pounds and has worms?

It would be best to just cut down the dosage that the directions give. For instance, if you're using a liquid dewormer (which you should be using w/ a puppy), it will usually say 1 tsp for every 5 lbs. I have a puppy that is about 2 lbs so I just cut the dosage down to 1/2 tsp. FYI: received info from vet office.


Can you give a 4 month old puppy pork chop bones?

How much liquid wormer do you give a 10 week old puppy?

First of all do you know what type of worms your puppy has? You should also weigh your puppy. Get on your scale and weigh yourself first, then get the puppy and weigh both of you. Subtract the weight of yourself alone from the weight of you and the puppy and you will get the weight of your pup. The instructions for how much to give your pup is on the bottle of the dewormer. They use terms such as ml which is the same as 1cc in a syringe. If you do not know what you are doing, take your pup into see your Veterinarian and also take in a stool sample from your puppy. If you do deworm at home, be sure to repeat the deworming in 10-14 days.
