I need to take Khorra in for her third set of shots this week. I'm wondering if I need to have her wormed again. The first time I took her in they tested her and even though it came back negative, they gave her the worming medicine anyways. I was fine with that. The second time she went in for shots they tested and wormed her again without telling me and said that it was routine. Well, should I let them go ahead and test and worm her a third time or should I just tell them no? If she doesn't need it, I don't want to spend the extra money.

Usually 2 wormings are sufficient, but depending on where you live and the vet's experience, it may be warrented. Ask him if you can wait for awhile and then check a stool. If the stool sample is negative, why worm?

I think it was just routine and he said that it was a very little sample. Well, Khorra's poops are very tiny, lol!

I have worming treatment that my vet said I need to give Mylo every 2 weeks until he's 6 months.

Wow, that sounds excessive. I wonder why the vet wants him wormed so often?

Every two weeks?! I've heard of puppies getting dewormed every two weeks until they're twelve weeks old, but not after that. Dewormers apparently only target adult worms and it takes at least a couple weeks to even a couple months for them to develop to the adult stage, so I think that unless he has a severe case that every two weeks would be way too often. Did you vet explain why it needed to be that often?
