    New dog and (timid) 8 year old dachshund. Tips?

    puppy might be annoying and overwhelming for an older dog. It depends, but an older dog might be a better choice. At 8 years, your dog is pretty much calm and mature and thinks his home is his own, might not like an active puppy in the house. It might go either way, goodluck!

    Drontal Plus.

    I was told to repeat the dose in a few days, but with such a bad reaction I will not. I am waiting on vet to call today. I have been reading about using diatomaceus food grade earth as a wormer in his food. I'll ask about this natural alternantive.

    Drontal Plus.

    My vet prescribed 2.5 tabs one month apart. Chappie vomitted about 2 hours later. Now I am not sure if he got the dose. He emptied his stomach completely. He has tapeworm. ick, I am calling my vet when it opens. Any thoughts. I have another dose to give in a month.

    He just knows to sit and wait until I am done. A woman asked me how I get him to pose, and I just say to him stay there and he waits. He's a ham.

    How the dachshund character?

    My experience In one month: Curious, cuddly, playful, happy, stubborn and quick to figure things out.
