Worming Baby Puppies

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

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.
