yes the vets want money and they will get it any way they can...they tell u lets do a fecal either way..but thats their job..to sell you stuff
i d rather take care of it my self and have no need to run poop to the vet.. |
you only need to test one of the puppies. If one has them, then they all have them. if its positive THEN you can worm them. I see no reason to worm "just in case".
A vets "job" isn't to sell you stuff. A good vet's job is to medically care for animals, not see how much they can test, offer, and charge you. If that's what your vet does then he's not a good one, and i've look for another.

and as all docs/vets they will tell her to come in and lets talk..and she will walk out with owing more $$$$$ then necessary |
Also all docs/vets do not charge for just walking in the door. Mine don't. I can call her and ask her anything if need be. Or i can go in and speak with her real quick if i have a problem. She doesn't charge me for every little thing.

I've read this entire thread and at first i could believe that it had gotten so long. But as i read through some of the posts i understood. So much bad information was given out here that it had to be corrected so others won't get the wrong idea.
Medication should not be given out "just in case". worming puppies, especially at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks old, is ridiculous. If your bitches are worm free then your puppies will be worm free. Treat the situation before a problem arises. Don't willingly and regularly give chemicals to young tiny puppies. it is NOT protocol. If you did your research you would know that the protocol has changed and vaccines should NOT be given any earlier then 8-9 weeks old. They should get only two more vaccines after that at 12 and 16 weeks old. Rabies shouldn't be given until the pup is a little older (4-6 months) and never at the same time as another vaccine.
