There are lot's of different kinds of worms. Treatment varies by worm type and dog weight. The most common parasite is pinworms. If you KNOW your pup has pinworms because they're visible in the dog's stool and you KNOW what you're looking for, then Pyrantel Pamoate Suspension 1 ml = 50 mg Pyrantel base (as Pyrantel Pamoate). Dosage by weight is on the container.
It does not require a prescription and can be ordered inexpensively over the net. Pinworms can be passed from dog to dog, and dogs to people. The same formulation works for (was developed for) humans. It has a minty taste. In the last 5 years, I contracted them once from a dog whose owner was less than diligent in monitoring their dog (and I work with a lot of dogs). The parasites were eradicated with a single dose.
Your best option is to take a stool sample from your dog to your Vet and have him/her check the sample; then, ask about the efficacy of this product. Pinworms are no big deal unless left untreated. At the training kennel, we use it routinely.
It would be remiss not to mention this is NOT a heartworm preventative or cure. Talk to your Vet and ask about least expensive options.

Are whipworms bad for a 13-week-old puppy?
Yes, they are. No parisitical infestation is good for any animal. Could cause inflammation of the digestive tract, diarrhea and a whole host of other problems. Hit your local pet store for some worming treatment, the local superstore may have it, otherwise got a worming treatment from the vet. It shouldn't break the bank, either. Since you've got internet, do a Google search for "whipworms" (yes, put it in parenthesis for a more accurately specific search) to find out more. Don't waste any time in researching and taking care of this problem. Want to know more? Go to: http://www.greatlakesbcrescue.org/HealthNTraining/Whipworm.htm I'm not a vet and I don't even play one on TV, but I'm sure your dog's uncomfortable.
