What do ya'll use for deworming your pups? MATH WHIZ HELP PLEASE. =)

I don't know if your dogs are already on a heartworm preventative, but there are heartworm preventatives out there that treat hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms too.
Like Iverhart Max for example and it's not very expensive either. On drsfostersmith.com (with a prescription from your vet) a year's supply for dogs between 50 and 100 lbs is $ 56.28.
And I think the shipping might be free: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=16602
But anyway, that way you don't have to buy different kinds of preventatives for each type of worm. You just give your dog 1 pill each month and that's it.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I am asking specifically for young baby pups. I'll look into that when he gets bigger... Thanks!

He's just 15 weeks old now.

Still need help for dosing...

I have never been able to cut the dosage down myself with the pannacure horse wormer for dogs. Not good at the tiny math.
But the wormX plus or any of the wormers Southern wrote about will work.

I also have a valbazon dosage which is good for albon resistant coccidia which works for most worms too (not heart)

let me know if you want it.

I stink at math.

This place is in AU but shipping is 5.00. I buy all my meds for dogs and cats through them.

Even with shipping that's a good price. Do you have to have a prescription? I have 4 dogs or more sometimes. So worming for about 7 bucks each isn't bad at all. My dogs all are somewhere in tht 30-40 lbs range. so I'd need 2 for each
Thanks

So this is what I got, Safe-Guard 4 Canine Dewormer. It says it does tapes, round, hooks, and whipworms. It's 20 bucks for a box of this, and I need like 2-3 boxes.

The active ingredient is Fenbendazole and it says the dosage is 50 mg/kg (22.7mg/lb). In each dosage unit it has 222mg/g of Fenbendazole Granules, and each pouch is 4 grams. It also says it's 22%.
http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/uploads/6210_026851071648c.jpg


And so I found this stuff in a tube for horses, can a math whiz help me figure out dosage? It states "Each notch offers approximately 227 mg of active ingredient."
http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/uploads/6210_p-109-28994-wormer.jpg


Is this esentially the same stuff? It looks like the mg of active ingredients are the same. It also says the dosage is the same for horses 50 mg/kg (22.7mg/lb). It's $7 for a tube of this stuff which will treat up to 1200 pounds. And as far as I can figure out one "notch" or dose of this stuff would be the same as a pouch of the canine stuff? It also says it's 10% Fenbendazole paste. Panacur Equine Dewormer Paste 10% contains the active anthelmintic, fenbendazole. Each gram of Equine Dewormer Paste 10% contains 100 mg Fenbendazole. 100mg/g.

Ok now I just read for that one that two notches will do a 250 pound horse. That doesn't make sense. I'm confused... help please!!!

From what I can find this is the dose for a horse for panacur. It is not the same as what you have, but I did read that it has been tested at the level you state so I am not sure what you read. I checked 2 different websites that sell the stuff.

Panacur Paste 10% is administered orally at a rate of 2.3 mg/lb.

So a 250 lb horse would need 575 mg and 2 notches is 454 mg so the math doesn't quite add up but it is close. Since one syringe treate 1100 lbs I would simply count the number of notches on the tube and divide. So if there are 10 notches that would be about 110 lbs per notch so Diego would get about 1/2 notch.

Or another way is to do it by weight, that would be my choice.

2.3 mg/ lb * 47 lbs = 108mg or .10 grams. You could take a gram and divide it into 10 little chunks.

I only wormed him for roundworm and he was alot smaller then. I used the liquid wormer from ProSense.
1067 mg = 1.06 grams or 1 gram.

Thank you so much Barbara!!! It sucks being bad at math, lol.

I'm wondering now if I was looking at two different strengths of the horse panacur online without realizing it. I will make sure I get the 10% one. I also need to do my big dog Dakota, and he is 110# so that is perfect, one notch for him 1/2 for Diego.

Thank you so much!

No presciption required. I buy generic heartworm from them too, also the new topical wormer for cats which I LOVE. I was buying the flea stuff from them but have switched to Pet Armor. I buy the XL size vial and draw it up into a syringe and find the volume and split it on my 2 border collies and do the same for my female LGD. I just store the leftover for my LGD in the syringe until the next time. My male LGD has to get an entire dose of the large size vial.

I have also been know to use Ivermectin for heartworm too. Cost alot less.

Make sure you count the notches, I was just guessing that there are 10. Take 1100 and divide by the number of notches, that will be how much weight each notch will treat.

The one I was looking at I think it said a whole tube treats a 1200 pound horse, I was assuming there was 12 notches... lol...
