I have always done exactly what Paddy says - from day 40 til pups are 7 days old but the suggested doseage is from day 40 til pups are two days old i.e. 25 days provided that the bitch whelps on day 63. It would be less if she whelped earlier and more if she whelped later.This is taken from the manufacturers recommendations - Pregnant dogs: 1ml per 4kg bodyweight daily from day 40 of pregnancy continuously to 2 days post-whelping (approximately 25 days). (= 25mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight daily). Practical dosage recommendations: 4kg 1ml daily for approx. 25 days 8kg 2ml daily for approx. 25 days 12kg 3 ml daily for approx. 25 days 20kg 5ml daily for approx. 25 days 40kg 10ml daily for approx. 25 days For dogs weighing over 40kg, an extra 1ml is required for each additional 4kg bodyweight. As treatment of pregnant dogs is 98% effective, puppies from these dogs should themselves be treated with a three day course at 2 and 5 weeks of age. EXTERNAL LINK
