When I took my Chi puppy in for her 1st vet visit a few wks ago she was 7 1/2 wks and 1.3 lbs. oddly enough mine also had coccidia (which I suspected and that was the reason for the visit). The vet said she didn't have Pyrantel to worm her with-which I thought was very odd. I had it at home though so the vet said to give her 1/10th of 1 cc. It was such a tiny amount that I mixed it with water so she'd have enough to swallow. PetsMart and Petco have Pyrantel in small enough amounts that you could worm her with. There's different name brands but Pyrantel is the ingredient. .
