Can I safely use an OTC dewormer for my tiny puppy with Coccidia?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I like panacur or drontal plus for whip worms. Be sure to have Tiny on monthly heartworm prevention to help keep the worms away. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=13555 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=1459 I hope this helps!

Yes, they can be taken together, but because Bayer Expert Care is available without a prescription, the strength of the praziquantal will not be a strong as found in Drontal (which can only be given by prescription from the vet), and you may not get as good results. I would recommend taking Josie into the vet for an exam to get Drontal, it is an extremely effective and safe deworming treatment.

Those look like tapeworms, which requires praziquantel to treat. That is a prescription medication, so you will need to take Kiko into the vet to get Drontal (which contains praziquantel) to treat it.

You should really have a vet do that. It is very easy to overdose a puppy that small and that could be deadly. Not only that, but the dewormer you can buy over the counter is not very good and only usually is effective for one type of worm and often not safe to use in puppies that young. Your vet will have the best and safest products to use. Please let your vet do that for you. It is better to be safe than sorry. Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to post again if you need more assistance. Best wishes!

A dewormer should not interfere with recent vaccination. Ideally, you should check with your veterinarian before medicating Dino. A stool sample submitted for analysis can diagnose intestinal parasites and may aid in more effective treatment.

Hello. Your veterinarian just wants to make sure your pet is as healthy as possible & that any infectious cause of her illness are taken care of first. Then you can worm her & hopefully this will take care of all her problems. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I really do not know what medications you have available to you in India for treatment. I suggest you consult a local vet. The best I can tell you is to try an anti-protozoal medication if you can find it: https://in.virbac.com/products/dairy-cattle-and-buffalo/antiprotozoals
