The pups are two weeks old today so they get their first dose of
dewormer. This
dewormer deworms for rounds and hookworms.
Roundworms are the most common type of puppy worm. They occur in at least 90% of baby puppies. they get them from their mothers milk or by migration through the placenta. Most dog carry encysted forms of the parasite that becomes active under stress like being pregnant and giving birth.
The
dewormer is dosed based on weight and given slowly by the mouth through a syringe. Puppies generally like the taste. We follow the
deworming protocol put forth by the centers for disease control. We
deworm at 2,4,6,8,and 10 weeks old then place the pups on a
heartworm prevention that also
deworms them monthly from then on. Some of these worms can be
transmissible to humans, and cause things like blindness etc., so it is important to keep our pets
dewormed not only for their health but for ours.
