jax39 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 OK, stupid me, went to vets for various things, including worming tablets, got them home and have 3 tablets, but no info. on how to give them. Is it one a day for 3 days, or all at once? Or should I just call the vet tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendbert Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Which dose is it? I give mine Drontal where its 1 tablet per 10kg's weight of dog. Found this which will hopefully help: Drontal Plus Worming Tablets are for the control of gastrointestinal tapeworms and roundworms in dogs and puppies. Dosage 1 Drontal Plus Tablet per 10kg (22 lbs) bodyweight 1 Drontal Plus XL Tablet per 35kg (77 lbs) bodyweight. The tablets can be given directly to the dog or disguised in food. No starvation is needed before or after treatment. Puppies and Small Dogs 1/2-2kg bodyweight = 1/4 tablet Drontal Plus 3-5kg bodyweight = 1/2 tablet Drontal Plus 6-10kg bodyweight = 1 tablet Drontal Plus Medium Dogs 11-15kg bodyweight = 1 1/2 tablet Drontal Plus 16-20kg bodyweight = 2 tablet Drontal Plus 21-25kg bodyweight = 2 1/2 tablet Drontal Plus 26-30kg bodyweight = 3 tablets Drontal Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax39 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes its 1 tab per 10 kg, as hes a 26 kg dog, so does he have them all at once? Ive given him one with his dinner tonight so far, so should he have other 2 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendbert Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Sorry, yes, all at once. If he's 26kg, I'd give 2 and 3/4 tablets as they should be easy to break into quarters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
