Worming

[Tinman 0]

Hi

 

I am looking for advice on worming

 

I took my pup for his 1st set of injections 2 weeks ago and also the vet gave me some worm tablets to give him.

 

I gave him his tablets and my pup had worms as I could quite clearly see the evidence the next day.

 

While looking through this site looking for advice on worming I have noticed some of you worm your dogs every 2 weeks while being a pup or because of worm eggs (14 days incubation) but the vet said every month up until he is 6 months old.

 

What would your advice be on this?

 

 

Thanks

Thanks for the reply BillyB

 

I have Drontal Plus here.

 

Do you think using Drontal Plus would be OK(I am not sure of the difference). My Pup is 13 weeks old but I don't want him to suffer with worms.

What Ever regimen ye adopt; Buy ye Drontal On Line. Vet will be adding a mark up of 100's % to the cost to you.

 

And read All about 'Vaccinations' on the pinned PDF at the top of this Board.

Tinman they need doing every 2 weeks till 12 weeks of age then every 4 weeks untill 6 months of age,and every 12 weeks after that.Drontal puppy,or milbemax puppy till they are 6 months.

yeah drontal plus is fine. should say on the leaflet you had with the wormers but worm the pup every 2 weeks untill its 12 weeks old, thereafter at 3 month intervals. doseage is;

2-5kg=1/2 tab

6-10kg=1tab

11-15kg=1 1/2

16-20=2

think you can see the pattern emergeing.

 

have a look on vetmedic.com for the wormers. its were i get mine from and much cheaper than the vets.

Thanks for the advice Guys

 

I made sure today that I had him weighed.

 

I purchased my Drontal Plus from Hyperdrug.co.uk . It cost £12 for 8 tablets.

 

 

Cheers
