About 20 days after the baby is born, the first deworming can be started as long as the baby is in good health. Next, deworm every 2-4 weeks until the little bichon is six months old. It should be noted that if you buy or adopt a Bichon Frize, you cannot deworm it immediately when you bring it home. Because the dog has not adapted to the new environment at this time, rash deworming can easily make it nervous or even sick.
From six months after birth to one year old, the baby Bichon Frize should be dewormed every three months. After the little Bichon Frize is 1 year old, it can be driven every six months.
If you find that your little bichon is restless, has small black particles in its hair, keeps licking or scratching the same place, rubs its butt on the ground, or even has shortness of breath and is getting thinner, these symptoms mean that the little bichon is becoming thinner. There may be parasites in the Bichon Frize's body, so the Bichon Frize should be dewormed in time.
Precautions for deworming little Bichons:
1. Selection of anthelmintic drugs. Anthelmintic drugs are toxic, so you should be careful when choosing them. It is best to choose drugs produced by regular manufacturers. Although the price is high, the safety is guaranteed.
2. The dosage of deworming medicine. Many parents will ignore the dosage issue and think that just about the same is enough. This view is incorrect. When feeding deworming medicine to the little Bichon Frize, you should strictly follow the instructions and use as little as possible. Affects potency, and may affect Bichon Frize's health.
3. Do not take a bath after the Bichon Frize has been dewormed externally, and do not eat after being dewormed internally. It is best to feed the Bichon Frize 3-4 hours after eating food, and wait until 5 or 6 hours before the drug takes effect. Feed again after finishing.
4. Pay attention to the feces of the Bichon Frize after deworming. Generally, dead parasites and eggs will be excreted with the stool. If symptoms of diarrhea occur, it is best to consult a doctor.
