deworming pups

[bently]

just aquired a couple of pups from a old friend of mine and he claimed that he just dewormed the pups twice, 2 days before i picked pups and and the day before i aquired them. this morning i woke up to bloated styomachs, loose, bloody stools where u could see the worms and tapeworm segments, which looks like little white grains. i called him up this morning and he told me he has been using 8-1 safegaurd 4 dewormer which i never heard of.

the pups will be six weeks in a couple of days, so i was going to deworm them myself but didnt want to deworm them again if the had just been wormed a couple days before.

any suggestions on how long should i wait until i worm them with a different dewormer, or do you think they will be fine with time

Why do you give that drug monthly? It's expensive as hell, and does nothing for any worm besides tapes, which most dogs don't have if they're de-flead.

Wrong link, my mistake, this is the correct one http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...tid=1459&rel=1
I rely on my vet for medical advice, I do not have many dogs to take care of, regarding costs, and I assume that europeans might tend to use other meds than americans depending on manufacturer. In full honesty, I never considered medication and feeding expenses for my dogs, maby because I do not have a large number of animals or that I can afford it. To me is just vet expenses and compared to USA that a visit might cost a leg and an arm, here I can have a full operation for eg with $300.

Safeguard is fenbenzole, fendbenzol takes 3 consecutive days of treatment to be effective, if you dont do it correctly & underdose..... In theory your creating a "super worm" thats going to be harder to kill! Same goes with antibiotics.....

3 consecutive days, twice daily, at the correct dose.

Just curious why for goats. Do u worry about overdosing, or it being to strong for the pups
