The dose for albomar is 5mg per kg of body weight. A puppy weighing 10kg would receive 2ml. One dose should be adequate to treat tapeworms; this dewormer will not kill roundworms or other intestinal parasites. There are minimal side effects of this medication, but if there is a very large parasitic tapeworm load in the gut, pets can show signs of intestinal obstruction, such as decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, etc.
