Appropriate prescription products are available starting from 6 weeks of age. I would strongly suggest, to avoid overdosage and toxic side effects, to ask your local veterinarian what is available in your area. Hope this answer was helpful, but 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.
