You should start worming them now. We actually give the first very small dose at 2wks. Now you should see them start to try to walk around (or wobble around, lol) and they should continue to nurse. You can introduce some soft puppy gruel if you'd like. Mom will most likely eat it and that's quite all right. But many times you'll see them stand in the saucer and they do get a little. You should worm them with a veterinary approved wormer such as nemex or panacur. I've always used nemex for the first few wormings. Use a clean syringe and just gently open their mouth and squirt it in. Make sure you watch the funny expression on their faces the first time they "taste" something "new"... it's too cute. Good luck and congrats on your babies. |
