panacur i find is the best and you can worm them out 3 or 4 weeks but you have to make sure you don give it to much could block it up

vet told me pups every 2 week till there 8 weeks then every 4 week till there 6 month then a just do every 3 month ,a will never take a pup out of a litter at 6 weeks coz its the time when the shud be playing and learning all them skills with the litter, 2 weeks is a long time for pups to get strong ,play fighting ect ,you will get a much better pup by leaving it 2 more weeks ,then you can go take it at 8 week and get its first jab and only have to wait till its had its second jab at 12week then 13 weeks be time for walks ,hope you see the light atb

Jabs are 2 weeks apart not 4 at my vets

Both systems work just depends what type vaccine the vet uses. Two methods same end result lol

Panacur is OK if you follow the correct protocol: http://www.msd-animal-health.co.uk/products_public/panacur_10__liquid/090_product_datasheet.aspx

 

One dose is never enough, especially if the pup wasn't wormed from 2 weeks of age. I have found this through experience. If a pup doesn't get wormed until the buyer takes it home, it will be, 9/10 times, full of worms. Panacur has to be given daily for at least 3 days to get rid of the worms, and even then, if the pup is really infested, Panacur may not shift them all. If you think the pup is very wormy: pot bellied, bug eyed, bad coat, then use Drontal Plus, and cut the tablet down according to the pup's weight: don't just guess it either. If you haven't got dedicated dog scales then stand on a human scales without the pup, then pick up the pup, weigh both of you and subtract the first weight from the second to get the weight of the pup. One dose of Drontal will get rid of the worms, but you need to worm pups every 3 weeks for round worm until they are about 5 months old. The round worm has a 3 week life cycle, and if there are immature worms or eggs already inside the pup they will continue to develop, hence the 3 weekly worming.

 

Hope this helps.

I rotate mine panacur and drontal . Panacur's the only one that kills the Gardia bug which sits in the anal canal and causes prolapse's. So I use panacur then drontal and so on .
