None of my pups have tested positive for worms in years. Mine stay indoors so I think that is the main reason mine are worm free. I recommend taking a stool sample in to the vets and don't just automatically worm them. Another serious problem that many pups get is coccidia. Regular worm medicine will not kill coccidia, it takes a sulfa drug. Often the first sign of coccidia will show up during the weaning process when the pups are 4 to 8 weeks old. With coccidia the pups will get icky poops. If you start seeing mucous poops then definitely take a stool sample to the vet immediately. Many breeders keep albon on hand and treat their pups themselves. |
