Hi TY members!

I have a question for you guys...
I've had my pup for 6 weeks I already took him to the vet and according to the vet he is a very healthy puppy. Anyway, last time I took him to the vet to get another one of his shots he didn't get it b/c he had a cough with congestion and so the vet prescribed him amoxilin(?) which didn't do a thing b/c he still has the same caugh!

Anyway here is the question: How many times should I deworm my lil Shadow (he is 3 1/2 months) I don't know if they vet is just ripping me off! How about the shots..How many shots should he get (he's gotten 2 already)???

Thanks for your advice.

Since my babies are both 3 yrs old I don' t really remember how many times they were dewormed. I believe they got 4 sets of puppy shots. Maybe someone with younger puppies can help you more. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I don't really have a direct answer to your question, but I got Pixie at 3 months and she had round worms at the time. My vet gave her a dewormer at the office visit and another dose to follow up with 2 weeks later. He said after that, her heartworm prevention would also prevent worms. He said that my other dog would not need to be infected by her because his heartworm preventative would prevent them.
