*kirty* Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Can anyone help me find a wormer for my puppies? I have used Drontal puppy liquid twice now and I simply refuse to use it again. It tastes horrible so the babies froth at the mouth and spit it all out. And it is bright pink and goes everywhere. They are IG puppies so quite small. Not due again for 1.5 weeks and I imagine they will be around 1.5kg then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Will they not be old enough for a bit of tablet like Milbemax or something in mince by then kirty? I can't remember the liquid product we used for shelter puppies right now but it was white and apparently yucky and went everywhere too! Tablets are way easier in my experience and at 1.5kgs / 6 weeks ish could you use 1/4 - 1/2 a toy/small breed tablet each?

Aziah Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I never use the suspension syrup just a portion of an appropriate tablet (personally, I like Popantel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Pyrantel pamoate suspension is great. It's sold as a pinworm medicine for human infants, as well as a veterinary medicine. Puppies liked the formulation I bought, and it was cheap ($35 bought me enough for a lifetime). Many many breeders use it in the US . . . dosage recommendations are widely available.

LisaCC Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm not sure if they will be old enough for it, but my pup ended up with with worms when Drontal liquid didn't bloody work on mine even at the correct dosages and times, so the vet gave Fenpral tablets, but he was over 8 weeks at the time.

Christina Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have used Canex or Troy puppy syrup & the Troy for my kittens for about 20 years & never had any reaction of any kind from them. The one time I tried a kitten paste they frothed at the mouth & vomited so I always stick to the usual now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBreedBoy Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I use Milbemax from the start. Not keen on the suspensions either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
