At what week do you usually worm the puppies?

selzer · 08-17-2009, 03:59 PM

How many days old, and then how frequently. Do you wait until they start eating solid food?

In previous litters I have waited until four weeks, and then every two weeks. I am looking for a consensus.

Also do you use strongid or something else?

I do it @ 4 weeks with Strongid, 6 weeks with strongid, 8 weeks with Panacur. And those who remain with me get another dose @ 12 weeks with Panacur. (panacur works better against Whips but Strongid works better agains round and hooks)

I usually run a fecal starting around 4 weeks and then worm if needed.
