if you are talking the liquid then yes, If it is the Horse wormer paste than i would not because you can't gauge how much your giving with the weight and dosage being for horses. I Use Nemex II. Same ingredient. (Pyrantel pomoate). It can be used starting at 2 weeks. Has directions on the bottle, dosage and how often to give it and can be bought at about any feed store. That way you know how much you are giving. Good luck. |

I have been using the horse wormer (Strongid) that is concentrated in a past for many years on a 2 week old pup...this wormer is very forgiving...

so what are you saying, He would be better off to use the tube of Horse wormer and guess how much he put's on his finger from a tube dosed for 1250 lbs on a puppy that young over using a Liquid you can measure with a syringe and know what your doseing at made for Puppies ? I use the Horse wormer myself on my older pups and grown dog's and it is forgiving, but saying that it would be very easy and possible for someone to overdose a 2 wk old puppy and the 4 dollar savings is not worth it. As i was told by Colt when i posted about Dexamethasone, you don't know how old and experienced someone is when giving advice when it comes to medicine and doing it yourself without a vet. Not trying to start anything and i mean no disrespect but i do not understand the need to comment with the Horse wormer dosage for a 2 wk old puppy. If they are asking they obviously have not done it that much or at all. |

if I thought it to be dangerous for a 2 week old pup I wouldn't use it much less recommend it....but I am all about saving money...and a vet would go out of business if they were counting on me for business...there are times when I do need a vet but not very often...
make sure to worm the mama dog because she cleans up the puppy waste and the cycle wouldn't be broken unless the mama is wormed as well.

Safeguard is the same as the Panacur. The tube horse wormer is the cheapest and easiest to me for the goats . I use that as well as Stongid and Ivermectin on my Goats. I use a different brand every month . I have found over the years with my Goats using the same thing every month does not work as good as switching it up. |
