yes they are I think you take them in about 3 to 4 weeks of age for the first deworming call vet to make sure.

Puppies are never born with worms. But if their mother has worms they acquire the worms from her within a few days after birth.

Is it normal for St. Bernard puppies to experience heavy panting while resting?

If they are hot or heart worms can cause this. If it is not seriously hot when they are resting have them tested for heartworms. Especially if you have a large mosquito population. Puppies don't usually have heart worms, so I would suspect they are too warm. Put a small 6" fan on them where they can't get tangled in the cord.

Is bactrim given to puppies for worms?

Bactrim is not given to puppies for deworming purposes. You need to know what types of worms your pup has & then use the appropriate dewormer for the types of worms pup has. I suggest you take your pup & a sample of his or her feces into your Veterinarian to be checked out. What are you giving the Bactrim for and who gave it to you?
