Nothing special just treat at 5mg/kg (1lb=0,45kg) once. Pyrantel is usually given as a single dose that is repeated in two to three weeks to kill any parasites that have matured during that time. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
