puppy wormer

Question
i got a 5wk old boxer puppy for christmas, we gave her 1 cc dose of evict puppy wormer, i know i am suppose to give it to her again in 2 wks, what i really got to know how many days in a row do you give it to her, or do you just give her 1 dose and in two weeks give her 1 more dose, someone told me you had to give her a dose a day for 3 to 5 days, according to amount of worms she has...is this true?  

Answer
Good morning, Rick.

Congratulations on your new puppy.

5 weeks old is awfully young for her to be away from her mother and siblings.  Please, definitely do some research on appropriate interaction and training so she gets the bite inhibition and social skills she will be missing out on from being away from her mom and siblings so young.

As far as using the Evict for her, honestly, I would consult with your vet to make sure she is getting the proper worming treatment, in the proper amounts and at the right times.

Good luck with your new pup.
