rajacadoo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Just wondering at what stage/age you give a final worming before whelping ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 A week before mating. But I don't routinely worm, I worm when it is required (fecal count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Before mating and at 8 weeks gestation. Hormones do very odd things to worm burden!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 A few days before mating & then not at all while pregnant. I don't understand how hormones can influence worms ? I thought they got them from fleas, raw meat or soil usually ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
africandreams Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 For those breeders that don't worm during pregnancy, can I ask why? Have you had a bad experience? I have a 6week pregnant bitch, vet has advised to worm. Have heard mixed opinions from breeders on whether to worm or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they got them from fleas, raw meat or soil usually ? Roundworm (and I think hookworm?) eggs can lie dormant until the later stages of pregnancy. Doesn't matter how much you worm them prior.
