If you purchased a puppy from an unscrupulous breeder, then there is always the possibility that the baby is worm-leafed. This is harmful not only for the developing organism of the dog, but also for you, since both you and your children are in close contact with him. In addition, worms give the puppy anxiety, their presence can cause constipation or, conversely, diarrhea, immunity is weakened.
Instructions
Step 1
Perform the first deworming of the puppy at the age of up to one and a half months, while the worms have not yet had time to lay eggs or larvae, which, moving through the body, end up in the puppy's intestines and parasites hatch from them again. It is very important to prevent this process in girls, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to completely get rid of the worms that have invaded the tissues of the uterus.
Step 2
You will have to constantly carry out prophylaxis of worms in a puppy and an adult dog, since the danger of infection exists both during walks and in the process of communicating with other dogs. Some types of worms are transmitted by flea bites. Therefore, the deworming procedure also assumes that you get rid of the puppy and the fleas.
Step 3
Do not use folk remedies. Better to use veterinary drugs. They act quickly, painlessly and effectively, do not cause any harm to the puppy's body. And they are inexpensive. See your veterinarian. He will prescribe the appropriate medication based on the age and weight of the dog. It is necessary to observe the dosage strictly.
Step 4
In any case, you had better check with your veterinarian before purchasing worm medications for your puppy from the veterinarian pharmacy. They come in the form of tablets and suspensions that do not have an unpleasant odor and can be given to the puppy with food. You will most likely need to split the tablet into several parts, since the dog is still lightweight. Try to do this as accurately as possible. The tablet can be placed in a piece of meat. Make sure the puppy eats it and doesn't spit it out.
Step 5
After a couple of days, when dead worms begin to come out of the dog, rinse the floors in the apartment with water and bleach, treat the floor coverings and upholstered furniture, the puppy's place with disinfectants. Re-treat after 10 days and repeat it quarterly.
