Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 17 days old | 5.401 lbs
Hello sir, I have a Doberman Pinscher female puppy which is 49 days old. DHPPIL vaccination is due next week. Before vaccination Doctor asked me to deworm my puppy with Drontal Puppy Suspension as per her body weight. Her body weight is 2 kgs. 450 grams. I had to feed her 2.5ml of the medicine. But I could feed her much less than 2.5ml. Can I give her the same amount of medicine tomorrow to make sure that I have dewormed her correctly before vaccination ?

You can start dewormer puppies as early as 3 weeks and it is safe to do it with a vaccine. A good general dewormer with contain pyrantel and possible praziquantel if you want to cover for tapeworms. Generally this is repeated at least once 2 weeks from when you do it. .
