When do you all worm your bitch before she has the litter?
And do you worm her after or right before she has the pups?
When do you worm the pups?

Worming at time of Estrus is when I do mine. I avoid giving any "chemicals" to a pregnant female as this is the number one cause for birth defects ie. clefts, etc. Be aware of ear medications and some antibiotics. If there is an obvious worm burded then if it is necessary per my Vet I would use Panacur prior to 50th day of gestation. If my bitches hailed from Abroad I worm pups at 3,5,8,12weeks and every month thereafter until 1 year of age. If my bitches were born in the USA or Canada then 6,8,12 and every month thereafter until 1 year of age.
But the monthly routine they can use Interceptor or Drontal Plus depending on season.
Much depends on the region you live in....each region has inherent risk factors, more in southern climates.
