When should a Labrador be dewormed?

Under normal circumstances, Labrador puppies should be dewormed for the first time 20 to 30 days after birth. Levamisole, albendazole, ivermectin or abamectin can be taken orally or injected. Then carry out deworming every quarter. Adult Labradors should generally be dewormed every quarter. Broad-spectrum anthelmintics are generally used, and albendazole is commonly used. When deworming, it should be noted that the dose of the drug must be appropriate and cannot be too large or too small. Too large a dose may easily cause poisoning, while too small a dose cannot achieve the purpose of deworming.
From the first deworming to 6 months ago, deworm every 2-4 weeks. From 6 months to 1 year old, deworm every 3 months. After 1 year old, deworm every six months, or go to the hospital for check-up and deworm in time if necessary.
If you find that your Labrador keeps licking or scratching the same place, keeps rubbing its butt on the ground, coughs constantly, has shortness of breath, has small black particles in its hair, or even loses weight day by day, it will not gain weight no matter how much it eats. , if these symptoms appear, you need to deworm your Labrador as soon as possible.
Precautions for deworming Labrador puppies:
1. Deworming must be carried out to ensure the health of the Labrador.
2. Labrador puppies that have just been brought home are not suitable for immediate deworming.
3. It is recommended that deworming and vaccination should not be carried out at the same time, otherwise they may interact with each other and lead to vaccine failure. Generally, vaccination should be done first and then deworming.
4. Never give human deworming drugs to German Shepherd dogs.
5. If there are parasites in the puppies, they should first increase their nutrition and replenish their physical strength, and then deworm them.
