The first thing I would do is give him a real good worming and give him a 7-way shot even at 14 months old. Then I would put him on a regular worming schedule. I am sure others will chime in with other advise.

You might want to have a Vet check him for heartworms before you give him any heartworm meds. It might kill him if you don't.

GOOD ADVICE RIGHT THERE.........VET Check First!!! BEFORE starting the Ivermec!!!!! Then start the shots 7 in 1 with a regular worming cycle.....We recommend Droncit or the generic type.. pyrantel pomate (sp)
