How much liquid worm medicine do I give my small dog or puppy?

Question

OK, so I know now to reworm her. My new question is how much worm medicine (liquid) do I give her? The bottle says 1/2 tspn per 5 lbs. She is maybe a little over a pound but not much! Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 19 days old | 1lb

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Baby Girl is very cute. First, I would make sure you get an accurate weight. Once you have that here's how to calculate the amount. (You should get a dosing syringe so you can measure cc's or ml's) One teaspoon is 5 ml so 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5 ml. If she weighs one pound her dose would be 0.5 ml orally. So take her actual weight in pounds and multiply it by 2.5. Then divide that number by 5 and that will be the number of ml's or milliliters (cc's) that you should give her. Great question. Good luck with Baby Girl. She should be dewormed 3-4 times and the dewormings should be done every 3 weeks.
