mini girl Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Just wondering what others think about worming during and after whelping - I used to worm during pregnancy but have been told not to do this now - I wormed just before she was mated - my pups are just a day old and mum looks wonderful and all pups good - I'll start the pups on drontal syrup at 2 weeks but have different views on when to worm mum - some say straight away others say wait what is best .

Sandra777 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I worm the bitch about a day after I worm the pups - usually use Drontal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) I worm the bitch about a day after I worm the pups - usually use Drontal. Same here. Do mum one day after each fortnightly puppy worming (starting at 10 days)and I use drontal for puppies and mum. The syrup is useless.

My thoughts exactly the only difference is that I first worm at 14 days. I am not sure if the days we each prefer make a great difference, the most important thing is that you do worm them. Could be that I am not up on my puppy worming schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisart Dobes Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I vaguely remember our vet telling me that the worm cycle is 21 days approx - so providing you worm before then they will be fine. I worm at day 14 - bitch is wormed once mated regardless of when she was last done and then when the pups are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) I have never wormed the pups because my vet states that if the mother has been treated adequately then she will not pass worms on to pups. ETA. I have never had worms in pups and they get their first tablet at vaccination at 7 weeks. Edited July 12, 2011 by Bilbo Baggins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how you are in Qld make sure whatever you use kills Hookworm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
