The American Beagler Forum

i've hunted all my life, just never with beagles. i'm just learning! has any body tryed to stock rabbits with out a pen, if so how did it turn out? i also have a female with 1 week old pups, should i be doing any thing for them yet or is momma gonna do it all? sence im new to beagle huntin i,ll probly be on here often. i just found this site yesterday and really like it

Hey, Im from Va too. I wouldnt worry much about the pups until they are 3 1/2 weeks old. then I would worm them 1 time per week. I give a 7 way 1 week after weaning as well, I wouldnt wait more than 1 week after weaning for the 7 way because of parvo.

there is a seven way at our local co-op or do you suggest a brand. [thanks]

local brand would be fine as long is it is for dogs, their is one for Cattle too.

it's for dogs . what about wormer , most i've looked at says 6 weeks or older . what kind do you use?

Rfd brand will work I give a chapstick cap or 1cc to a 3 1/2 week old with no problems. sometimes Walmart has the RFD. I also get it at my farm store.

i have wormer from wal-mart it's called 8 in 1 premium liquid wormer. what do you know about that or just go with the RFD

I have used that too just keep the dose small like with the RFD.

THAKS ALOT!!!!

THAKS ALOT!!!!

I have had trouble giving the 7 way shot to just weaned pups. Some of them will break with coccidiosis. I prefer to give a 5 way shot until they are at least 6 months old. My vet says that it is the lepto in the shot that causes this.

thanks i'll look into that. i app. any info from any body that helps.
