Avery's Puppy Countdown Thread!

[aynesidea]

Not really, but purple puppy pooped on me today and part of it had kind of a white stringy section. I immediately thought it looked like worms, but I pulled that area a part some to inspect and they didn't look like any worms I've ever seen. I've seen worms in my poultry before and they didn't look the same.

What is the correct dosage for ten day old pups? Is it by age or weight?

The dosage should be on the container. It's been too long, I can't remember.

Duh, sorry about that, just got home from "God Loves You" Franklin Graham tour, left home at 1:30pm, now 11 pm. It was wonderful, but I am tired. The actual answer is by weight. Be sure you treat momma too. What did the worm look like?

I looked at a few of the other puppies' poops and they all looked normal.

If they have roundworm eggs, which is likely unless Avery was wormed several times as a puppy herself, you wouldn't necessarily see them.

You can worm the puppies this young? Amazing! (Obvi, I have not raised puppies!)

Round worms, hard to eliminate, easy to control, worming at 2, 4, 6, 8 wks is "best practice" . Sometimes that cute fat belly you see on pups is untreated round worm. Hope you slept well, I know I did.

Oh awesome!
I'm not sure if that's what they are or not. I'll try to get a pic if I see anything again.

I don't think Avery has ever been dewormed.
I'll treat her as well if I have enough!

@casportpony can you check my math here? I know you're the dosage expert.
Green puppy weighs 3 lbs. 3 oz.
Blue puppy weighs 2 lbs. 4 oz.
Pink puppy weighs 3 lbs. 2 oz.
Teal puppy weighs 3 lbs. 5 oz.
Purple puppy weighs 2 lbs. 10 oz.
Red puppy weighs 2 lbs. 12 oz.

This is the dosage according to the bottle

1 tsp for every 10 pounds. 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml.
So 5 ml. for every 10 pounds. Green puppy, for example, weighs 3 lbs. 3 oz. So I believe I would divide the 5 ml. by 10 pounds, that's 0.5 ml. per pound. Then I do 0.5 ml. times 3.3?
Which gives me 1.65 ml.
Then repeat for each one. Does that sound right? And to fill my syringe, that would be one full syringe, and then .65, so would I fill the second syringe to about the red dot?

Then for Avery, she weighed about 70 pounds at 4 weeks pregnant. So I'm guessing she's back to around 70 now.
For her I'd do 0.5 ml. times 70 pounds, which gives me 35 ml. Right?

Sorry, just want to double check everything before I use my whole bottle up, haha.

I think you did your math correctly.

What's the front of the bottle look like?
