How to give dewormer and wean a 3-week-old puppy from milk replacer?

Question

When i bought milk replacer for my puppy, the vet there recommended to use now a deworming tablet.So i bought it but i forgot to ask on how should i feed my 3 weeks old puppy that tablet. It is a praziquantel + febantel deworming tablet. Can someone guide me on how should i make him eat this tablet? And also i want to start weaning him next week. can someone also guide me on how much puppy food should i mix with his milk replacer? The puppy food that i bought is Vitality.

I will put a link below on how to pill a dog, so that should help you with Cooper taking the deworming pill. To help him wean and to get used to dry food, I would soak a high quality puppy formulated dry food in warm water until soft. Then mix that with the puppy milk to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry puppy food and decrease the amount of water and puppy milk you use until he is eating the dry puppy food only. Best of luck, I hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3yHgItqGmo
