No, you are NOT dumb! I didn't know either but had a friend tell me that it's dangerous for these tiny pups.
My tiny had not been doing the greatest as it was. Taken her into the vet one morning and he just said she had a bacterial infection and to treat the whole litter. He gave me Clavamox. Since I had not yet wormed the litter...I guess they were 5 weeks, he gave me the Drontal. Everyone took theirs and I took the tiny to work with me and had her in a box under my desk. Next thing I know, she was vomitting out one end and had the runs out the other. Her head was bobbing, she was very weak and then fell over. I left work immediately and rushed to the nearest vet. She made it and I had to give her pedialyte every 2 hours and science diet A&D mixed with nutrical and water every 4 hours. It was a close call and I had to force feed her but she pulled through and lives in California now.
