Pug puppy has roundworms. How much Panacur and for how long?

Question

Hi, I have a 14 lb pug who is 7 1/2 months old and about four days ago I noticed a roundworm in his stool. ive started him on panacur at 1/2 cc a day, but I don’t know for how long I should give him a higher dose than my normal rate of deworming medication. Any suggestions based on the life span of eggs hatching? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | neutered | 7 months and 9 days old | 14 lbs

You are under dosing Pumpkin if you are giving only 0.5 ml (cc) per day. Legally, we cannot provide dosing without a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship). Contact your veterinarian for an appropriate dose for a 14lb (6.3kg) dog. Panacur is typically given for 3 days, then repeated in two weeks. You can then consider a monthly preventative, such as HeartGard, Interceptor or Sentinel, that will protect against intestinal parasites and heartworm.
