 Worming Your Dogs
I worm all my animals-cats, dogs, horses-with Strongid T. It is a liquid that is sold in 60ml -for Americans, approximately 1/4 cup-and you need only 1 ml for every ten pounds of dog, so the whole bottle would do 600 pounds of dog. For cats, the dosage is 1ml for every five pounds.
When our bitch had a caesarian, we were told to worm the pups at two weeks, then ten days later. This medication is so safe, that even 20 times the dosage will not hurt them; it has been tested many, many times.
To worm the dogs and cats, I use a syringe with ml measurements on it; just draw it up into the syringe, open the animal's mouth and squirt it in. For some dogs, just put it on their food; my Beagle would lick it off a spoon, as it is caramel flavoured.
This is much cheaper than going to the vet, and is usually the same medication the vet will give you, one bottle will last years for a small Yorkie, and here, the bottle is about $18.00-probably much cheaper across the border! |
