To starve heartworms, a veterinarian typically prescribes a specific protocol involving the use of medications that target the adult worms and their microfilariae. This often includes the use of an adulticide, such as melarsomine, which kills adult heartworms, followed by a strict exercise restriction to reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, supportive care and preventive medications can help manage the infection and prevent future infestations. It's essential to follow a veterinarian’s guidance throughout the treatment process.

That makes about as much sense as the theory that feeding ground glass to an animal with worms will kill the parasites. What you do, as a responsible pet owner, is go to a vet, an animal clinic, or a pet store and buy worm treatment suitable for the size and age of your puppy.
