How much Drontal Plus should I give my 7kg puppy for tapeworms?

You can use the Drontal Plus to deworm him now. It is an excellent deworming tablet and you only have to give him one tablet now. You should given him another deworming tablet in a month, and then he should be dewormed every three months thereafter.

Drontal Plus is extremely effective for treating tapeworms. However, I am concerned that if he vomited soon after giving the medication, there is a chance it did not absorb. I recommend that you call your veterinarian for a second dose - it will be safe to re-dose - just to be on the safe side! Next time give it at meal time so there is a lot of food in his stomach as this makes it less likely he will vomit the pill.

The reason for the second deworming 3 weeks later is to kill any tapeworms that were still immature at the last deworming and were not yet sensitive to the dewormer or if she has gotten infected again since the last deworming. Drontal is a very safe medication with very few side effects since it only affects the parasites in the GI tract. I am attaching a link to a handout on Drontal below including a discussion of side effects. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=531 I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using PetCoach.

The dewormer i usually recommend is called Drontal plus, bear in mind that unlike the flea/tick products, dewormers do not protect your dog from future infestation, it only kills the worms on spot. for fleas and ticks i usually recommend Bravecto tablet or Advantix spot on. all these medications are considered to be high quality and safe.

Drontal, either Plus or without, is only for removal of worms after your pet has contracted them, it does not prevent them from getting them. If your pet is at risk of picking them up, because they're outside or hunting, then a regular dose can be helpful. The 22.7 mg Drontal plus is labeled for both dogs and cats.

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about Remy's troubles! However, w To better answer your question, it would be ideal to know which deworming pill was administered, and how many milligrams! Knowing that information will help one of us let you know for sure if it's an issue or not! However... praziquantel is usually prescribed for tapeworms, and sold often in 34mg tablets. For a 6-10 pound dog, 34mg is the dose. Again, if this is not what you gave, let us know so we can look into it for you! Thanks!

Hello, this medication is generally very well tolerated by our patients. Very rarely, this medication may cause some vomiting, diarrhea or decreased appetite. Otherwise, he should not have any side effects from this deworming. Hope this helps and best of luck.
