Give him one 200mg or 250mg tablet orally once or twice a day for five days. Also ask your vet for a womer like fenbendazole or albendazole, not ivermectin. Not sure what wormers you have in Greece, so ask him for something that will treat cecal worms and capillary worms. Here in the States it's called Safeguard (fenbendazole) and Valbazen (albendazole). Ivermectin will not treat those worms.
