I ned some advice.
my litter of 5 week was wormed 3 days ago{3rd dose} and have had horrible runny smelly poos ever since.
They were fine until they were wormed.
I have never had this problem before.
The other question was I didnt give them enough wormer{weighed them in kilos instead of pounds!!!!!!} but didnt realise this until the last day.
I didnt want to start them again straight away with the correct dose.
Any help or advice very welcome.
PS they were wormed with panacur 10% and are all fine and eating well except for this runny poo problem.

I and others have had problems with the 10% wormer you mentioned, some puppies (including mine, have been very poorly after it) I would wait another 2 weeks and worm them with Drontal for puppies or Strongid paste for dogs. I prefer the Strongid because its only one dose per worming rather than 3 days running, is very easy to work out how much to give and they dont dislike it as much as the others. You can safely give it from 2 weeks of age if you want to start that early on.
