4 weeks preggers, can i worm her now with panicaure or drontal worming tablets, or will this affect her pup?

Question

She is a staffordshire bull terrier, and i really need to get this sorted. Any responses are gravely appreciated

Answer 1

No. You should NOT worm her at this time. You will be worming the mom AND pups with Strongid at 2,3,4,6 and 8 weeks, and also taking a fecal sample from the puppies when they go for their vaccine visit.

Next time, worm the bit ch BEFORE she is pregnant...for healthier mom AND puppies.

Why worm now and expose all to more chemicals than necessary??? You will STILL have to worm puppies, because the incapsulated larve in the mothers muscle tissue can still release roundworms during nursing and be transmitted to the puppies. So you still have to worm them. Why worm the mom now. Even with worming BEFORE pregnancy, the incapsulated larve will not be gotten. Seems like a wate of money and something that the mom does not need during pregnancy.

Answer 2

she should be 40 days pregnant then you should worm her everyday untill 3 days after the pups are born ask your vet to give you more info but thats what i done for my pregnant dog

with my first litter of pups i didnt worm the mother when she was pregnant and the pups came out tiny they were german shepherds and they could fit in my hand at three weeks old they were also ridden with worms

with my second litter of pups i wormed the mother at 40 days pregnant and every day untill 3 days after the pups were born as advised by my vets and the change in the litter was amazing they were a lot healther bigger and stronger than the last litter and didnt have any worms at all they were also german shepherds
can i advise you to go to pets at home and buy a book called "The book of the Bitc h" it has been very usefull for me and it also tells you how when you should worm her good luck .And please dont listen to these people that tell you not to worm her

40 days is 6 weeks

Answer 3

hi, i had a litter of chihuahua pups in june last year and i asked my vet the same question, i was told it was a good idea to worm her (i used milbermax from my vets.) So go a head, it is safer to prevent worms. You will have to use panicur for the pups at week 2. Good luck.

Answer 4

dont worm her now you need to get a worming cream from your vet and give it to the ***** a week before she is due to have the pups and then it will worm both mother and pups get it from the vet and they will give you the rite one that wont hurt the pups i always worm my bitches a week before due a litter and that way the pups are health and no worms reg breeder

Answer 5

i agree with sara as i also breed dogs and worm my pregnant dogs at 40 days and then every day untill 3 days after the pups are born these people who say dont worm them dont know what there talking about talk to your vets they will give you information
you need

Answer 6

You shouldn't give the dog any worm meds without checking with the vet first!

Answer 7

You should really check with your Vet - I wouldn't take an answer from YA and run with it, you could risk loosing the litter of puppies.

Answer 8

She should have been wormed (if needed) BEFORE she was bred! Why would you think it is ok to put poisons in her body when she is pregnant?

Have a fecal done on the pups BEFORE you worm them, to see if they even NEED it!

Answer 9

I dont think you should have let her get pregnant as you dont seem to know what you are doing.
No dog should be wormed during pregnancy as medication would affect the Puppies. Breed doesn't make a difference except in the number of puppies! Some breeds can have very large litters!

Answer 10

Anything that goes into her, goes in to the pup. I wouldn't advise giving her deworming tablets, until you chedk with your vet first. You can give them a call, explain the situation, and they would be able to tell you when it 's safe to deworm her. Good Luck with the puppies and congrats.
