I'm pretty sure everything I've seen to treat fleas and worms is aged 12 weeks+. I've no idea if Miley has been wormed and I am assuming she has fleas as she is scratching a lot. Is there anything I can buy from a store to treat her at 7 weeks or is it a vet job?

I would go to a vet to be sure, I used panacur for worming on the litter of Rottweiler puppies that I raised, can't remember what was for fleaing though! Need to be careful with pups!

Ok thanks. The only reason I was wondering about shop bought was so I could get her something tomorrow instead of waiting until the vet can see her next week. I need to get her in for a check up and jabs anyway so it's not a problem adding flea and worming treatments to the list Smile

I don't think I would trust anything shop bought really, most of it is that bob Martin rubbish! You could pop into the vets tomorrow to get flea/worming treatment without an appointment, they usually just need to weigh them, though might want to do a pre check if they haven't seen her before. Give them a call in the morning Smile
