FECAL AND DEWORMING PROTOCOL!

Puppies & Kittens​

1. Start deworming process as early as two weeks:

   1. One day of Pyrantel, repeat every 2 weeks

   2. Three days of Ponazuril, repeat in 10 days 

      • If coccidia positive, change to 3 consecutive days, no need                                                                          to repeat unless fecal positive again

   3. If under 8 weeks, continue this protocol until 8 weeks of age​

2. Fecal on intake.

   • For litters, a group fecal is acceptable for this intake fecal. 
     *This means fecal samples from several babies are mixed

     together & run as one fecal sample.

3. Repeat fecal 2-3 weeks after deworming, regardless of initial fecal results.​​​

   • In the event of a positive fecal post deworming, repeat deworming and then repeat fecal 3 weeks post deworming.

   • If the repeat fecal is holding up an approved adopter, repeat fecal can occur earlier, but it may still read as a positive.

   • If positive for Whipworm, use Panacur for 3 days

​

Adults

Fecal protocol is the same for adults as it is for puppies and kittens, with the following exceptions:

• Initial fecal before deworming is not required, but highly recommended.

• Deworming does not need to be repeated if the first fecal is negative.
