Can I safely give Strongid T dog wormer to my silkie bantams?

Legally, we are prohibited from providing doses for medications in the absence of a physical exam. Fortunately for you, this information is readily available online. Use the search engine of your choice to find the canine dose for pyrantel pamoate or Strongid. Ideally, you should confirm dosing with your veterinarian before deworming the pup(s).

No, Strongid T will not get rid of the tapeworms. It only kills hookworms, pinworms, and roundworms. The medication needed to kill tapeworms is called praziquantel and it is available by prescription only from the vet. You need to take your dog into a vet immediately. It's very serious that she is severely emaciated and she needs veterinary care not only for the tapeworms but for being so thin. It's not good for her or her puppies to be so thin, as the puppies may not be getting all the nutrition they need from her. Please take them all into a vet now.

No that is fine. Luckily strongid is a very safe medication. I like to write down on a calendar when I treat my pets because I sometimes forget too. That way I can check before I give more. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Moo.

My recommendation is to separate the powder from ONE pouch into 4 equal parts. Then take one of those parts and separate it again into 2 parts and give each puppy one of those parts. That would treat 1.25 pounds which will be fine for those puppies. Each puppy needs that same dose once a day for 3 consecutive days. Don't get too crazy separating every grain of powder. The dewormer is safe so if it is a bit more it will not hurt them. However, you don't want to WAY overdose them. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

This is correct. That medication has a very wide dosing range and it is very safe. Resistance to this medications is starting to becoming a problem so we have started to use the higher end of the dose range.

What an adorable kitten!! Each ml of the drug contains 50mg of the pyrantel base, and the dose for pyrantel pamoate is 5mg/kg. Here is how to figure it out: Body weight in pounds divided by 2.2 gives you the body weight in kg. For example, a 12 pound cat is 5.45 kg. Then, take the kg weight and multiply it by 5 -- in the example above, the 12 pound (5.45 kg) cat would get 27.27 mg of the pyrantel. Since each ml contains 50 mg, take 27.27 and divide by 50......27.27/50 = 0.54 ml. 12 pound cat = 0.54ml 10 pound cat = 0.45ml 2 pound cat = 0.09ml Be sure to dose them again in two weeks to make sure all the worms are killed. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, for legal reasons we are unable to give a dosages of medications without seeing the patient. I recommend you take Henny Penny to an Avian Veterinarian for an examination. If you have the Ivermectin drench on hand, there may be dosing guidelines as part of the instructions.
