Golden retrievers are dewormed for the first time around 20 days after birth. From the first deworming to 6 months old, they are dewormed every 2-4 weeks.
From 6 months to 1 year old, deworm every 3 months. After the golden retriever is 1 year old, it should be dewormed every six months, or go to the hospital for examination. If there are worms, they should be dewormed in time.
If you find that your golden retriever keeps licking or scratching the same place, keeps rubbing his butt on the ground, coughs constantly, has shortness of breath, has small black particles in his hair, or even loses weight day by day, and does not gain weight no matter how much he eats, these symptoms may occur. If you have any symptoms, you need to deworm your golden retriever immediately.
If the golden retriever’s abdomen is enlarged and the dog often vomits and has diarrhea, it means that the golden retriever has suffered from severe parasites. The parasites are very harmful to the golden retriever. In severe cases, if no treatment is taken, the golden retriever may die. It is best for parents to take the baby to the hospital for veterinary treatment to avoid delaying the best treatment period.
Pay attention when deworming a Golden Retriever. A Golden Retriever that has just been brought home is not suitable for deworming immediately. It is best to deworm the Golden Retriever after it has adapted to the new environment, and it must be ensured that the Golden Retriever is in good health. It can only be carried out under certain circumstances.
It is recommended that deworming and vaccination should not be performed 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.
