Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / worming pup's and mother, confused
- By deansami [gb] Date 05.06.08 15:57 UTC
hi all,
      i was told that i should worm both puppys and mother at the same time, at two weeks, the question i have is, would mother not catch worms again when cleaning after puppys?
- By Jeangenie [gb] Date 05.06.08 15:59 UTC
Yes, which is why you worm the mother at the same time as worming the puppies. I usually worm at 3 weeks, 5 weeks and 7 weeks.
- By denese [gb] Date 05.06.08 16:30 UTC
I use the worming paste at three weeks and five weeks so much easier to give the pups. then I worm them again 7-8 weeks with a wormer from the vets.
Mom has tablets. I also worm my other dogs also when the pups are 7-8 weeks.

The policy in this house is all animals wormed on the same day, when I had cats as well as dogs they got wormed on the same day too ;)  If pups in the house the adults get wormed at the same time - so 3 times before pups leave :eek:

I worm at 2,4,6,8 weeks and also worm all the other dogs in the house including mum with tablets for the adults and liquid for the pups
- By deansami [gb] Date 05.06.08 17:58 UTC
yeah i was going to do every two weeks with pancur liquid, in syringe, and tablets for mum. would i worm mum every two weeks too or just the once whilst puppys are here?
- By Gemini05 Date 05.06.08 20:13 UTC
I only worm my girl the once, as the tablets I use for the adults last longer then the puppy liquid wormers xx

>the tablets I use for the adults last longer then the puppy liquid wormers


:confused:

Nor sure what you mean by this???

The puppy liquid wormer I use can be used for adults too and the pack advises to worm adults 3-4 times a year!   Of course you can worm your dog today and take him out Saturday and he can infect himself all over again ;)   As I understand it, the 3-4 months interval is to prevent the dog becoming overburdened with worms.

Is there a wormer which prevents the dog from having worms in the first place rather than just killing the worms off?

The Mother should have been on a strict worming regime before the birth too?

My pups coming up for 2 weeks so i will be doing them and mum, i am hoping to be able to find some do-do's to check and clean before mum gets to them (any excuse just to sit and watch pups!!!)
I will do mum & pups again in 2 weeks............................i know i need to carry on doing pups at 2 weekly intervals but will mum need this to after her 2nd dose
- By Brainless [gb] Date 06.06.08 00:14 UTC
I do everyone again wqhen all the pups have gone.  That is why I buy Panacur in bulk! :D
- By deansami [gb] Date 06.06.08 07:16 UTC
maybe i did that wrong then because she was wormed the week before mating then in between the 9weeks,
- By minnie mouses [gb] Date 06.06.08 07:50 UTC
I worm just before i mate the bitch & puppies 2 4 6 8 weeks i use Dorntal only worn adultes twice a year unless i need to with no problems.
- By AnnieM [gb] Date 06.06.08 10:26 UTC
I wormed my girl and all the other dogs the week before I mated her with Milbemax and will do her and all the other dogs again with Milbemax, when I do the puppies on Sunday (2 weeks) they will be done with Drontal though, puppies will be done at 2, 4, 6 & 8 weeks, mum and and all the others will be done again at 4 and 8 weeks.  Not sure if that is right or not, but that is what I am doing. :)
