If by puppy cat you mean kitten? Then the answer is usually no, but all worming products tell you quite clearly on the packaging what is a safe age for the animal.

I have a jealous cat over a new puppy. What should I do to help with the situation?

Usually kittens will get on better when introduced with a new puppy than a mature cat, but if this happens its easiest to give the cat and dog their separate spaces and let the cat decide when it wants to meet the puppy, or at the very least just tolerate it.Added: Because the cat was there first you must establish the role of the puppy. To the cat the puppy is low, and depending on your relationship with the cat, either you or the cat follow. Always show the cat FIRST affection. That is when the puppy and cat are in the same room, coo and pat the cat first then the puppy. Ignore if the puppy tries for your affection. A puppy right now wont understand exactly but the cat does. in time the puppy will realise the cat gets first priority, this makes the cat happy and also understand that you have accepted the puppy into your group. In time the cat should too. If the cat hisses at the puppy don't punish the cat and don't grab for the puppy, this is seen as you defending the puppy and the sudden movement of the puppy may cause the cat to react aggressively. if the cat swipes the puppy, again do not interfere. The cat is showing the puppy the ranks. Animals will not normally harm extensively a baby animal being introduced to the famil group. As an owner of 8 cats and having to introduce one puppy and 1 yearling dog to them, I have watched first hand the reactions cats make. The biggest order of business to them is: Rank.

How do you worm a puppy under 5 pounds when it says on the wormer bottle not to use under 5 pounds and your puppy weighs 1.5 pounds and has worms?

It would be best to just cut down the dosage that the directions give. For instance, if you're using a liquid dewormer (which you should be using w/ a puppy), it will usually say 1 tsp for every 5 lbs. I have a puppy that is about 2 lbs so I just cut the dosage down to 1/2 tsp. FYI: received info from vet office.


Can you keep your cats with New born Puppies?

I believe you can because the puppy isn't at the stage where it wants to chase or harm the cat. However the cat may feel scared with the puppy.

What happens if you give to much wormer medicine to a cat?

This will depend upon what dewormer you are using. If the active ingredient is pyrantel pamoate you are probably fine - this dewormer is not absorbed and doesn't have a systemic effect. I would keep an eye on your cat for a few hours and if everything seems fine I wouldn't worry too much. However, if you were using an ivermectin or pyrethrin-based dewormer, you need to get your cat to a veterinarian for treatment quickly. Inducing vomiting at home will be wasting time and won't have much impact on symptoms - your veterinarian will have to provide prescription drugs at the clinic to get your cat through the intoxication. To figure out what the dewormer medication is, look at the active ingredient list on the side of the bottle/jar. If the active ingredient isn't one of these three, you should call your veterinarian for specific advice.

How much liquid wormer do you give a 10 week old puppy?

First of all do you know what type of worms your puppy has? You should also weigh your puppy. Get on your scale and weigh yourself first, then get the puppy and weigh both of you. Subtract the weight of yourself alone from the weight of you and the puppy and you will get the weight of your pup. The instructions for how much to give your pup is on the bottle of the dewormer. They use terms such as ml which is the same as 1cc in a syringe. If you do not know what you are doing, take your pup into see your Veterinarian and also take in a stool sample from your puppy. If you do deworm at home, be sure to repeat the deworming in 10-14 days.
