How often should a Corgi be dewormed?

Pet Knowledge
Corgis should be dewormed about once a month to three months. The specific time needs to be determined according to the age of the Corgi. Corgis of different ages require different intervals. Deworming includes internal and external deworming. Through treatment, it can expel intestinal and skin parasites, reduce the risk of disease, and help the body function normally. However, when using drugs, you need to be under the guidance of a doctor. Blind use of medication can easily cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract and skin, affect the deworming effect, and even affect the normal development of the body.

1. Why do Corgis need to be dewormed once a month?

If the Corgi is less than 6 months old, the body’s resistance is relatively weak, which can easily lead to parasitic infection of the skin and intestines, so The time interval required for deworming is short, about once a month, which can effectively remove parasites in the body, plus the chance of getting sick, is beneficial to physical development.

2. Why do Corgis need to be dewormed once every 3 months?

If the Corgi is over 6 months old, the body’s resistance is relatively strong and the body has fully developed and is susceptible to parasite infection. The chance of being infected is relatively small, so it needs to be dewormed once every 3 months, and the dosage of deworming drugs is higher than that used by younger corgis.

3. Daily maintenance of Corgi after deworming

After internal deworming, you need to adjust your eating habits, eat smaller meals more frequently, avoid overeating, and deworm externally. Afterwards, you need to do local skin care and do not take a bath within 3 days, otherwise it will easily affect the absorption of the drug and fail to achieve the purpose of deworming. If abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract or skin occur after using drugs, it is recommended that the owner take the Corgi to the hospital for relevant examinations to understand the cause and further treatment.
