Nemex II (pyrantel) is appropriate for use on puppies. They should be dewormed at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks. Even if the dam showed no signs of harboring parasites certain hormones released in pregnancy can wake up latent parasites and cause the mother and babies to both become infested. They all need all the nutrition they can get so it is important to make sure they are all parasite free. Hope all is well with mom and babies- make sure to deworm all other animals on the property with a broad spectrum dewormer
