Worm Infestation

This grievance, in newborn puppies, usually results in premature death, especially in the worms are Haemonclius contorsus. This problem would not show up is the mother had been given the adequate prenatal care and had been in perfect state of health when giving birth. Everybody knows that the worm eggs pass from the mother to the fetuses inside the womb; therefore the litter is infected before birth.

This means that you should be aware of any presentation of worms in the pregnant mother. If she is infested, you must administer vegetable compound tablets. It is by these means that you can save the lives of your puppies.

Anyhow, if the puppies are infested, give them small pieces of the same tablets, followed by a teaspoon of magnesium milk, which acts like a soft laxative.

Is extremely important to bear in mind that there is no use in destroying a great number of worms by means of chemical preparations, which generally greatly irritate the intestines; this is twice as bad as the infestation itself.
