Worming, how often?
« on: May 11, 2013, 06:39:31 PM »
Got myself confused. Do I;

- worm Fin monthly until 6 months old OR

-worm Fin monthly until 3 months old and then every 3 months after that?

Can't remember what I did with Molly at this age. He's now 4 months old so just wondering if I need to worm him again.

Thank you!

Henry was wormed every month until 6 months (just looked up in my old diary where I wrote these things down to remind me to give him the pills). The vet said it was only every 6 months after that but he did then get both tape and round worm at 9 months, so I will now be worming him every 3 months, since he eats everything. Ooh, just reminded me that I need to do the next one!

We had this problem too until we discovered wrapping it in the centre bit of wafer thin ham or chicken meant it was swallowed whole without her knowing. Rowan loves ham and chicken so we give one folded parcel empty then the 2nd with a tablet in and she's none the wiser as she never stops to sniff!!
