Breeding females can pass parasites to their pups both in the womb and through milk, so deworming the female is extremely important. Most of the commonly used dewormers on the market in the US for dogs can be used in pregnant animals, but the specific times to deworm to prevent infection of pups before and right after birth should be discussed with your veterinarian as the recommendations are different for the different deworming drugs.

∙ 11y agoYes you can. You can visit your veterinarian and have him/her administer the medication, and you can visit your local feed/supply store to purchase these medications. Be sure to follow the directions carefully. Some meds must be given with food, some are to be given on an empty stomach. It depends on the particular de-wormer.

∙ 10y agoThe best dewormer that a vet can give a puppy will depend on the type of worms the puppy is suffering from. The vet will generally use an all-in-one wormer if they find that the puppy has multiple types of worms.

How do you worm a puppy under 5 pounds when it says on the wormer bottle not to use under 5 pounds and your puppy weighs 1.5 pounds and has worms?
It would be best to just cut down the dosage that the directions give. For instance, if you're using a liquid dewormer (which you should be using w/ a puppy), it will usually say 1 tsp for every 5 lbs. I have a puppy that is about 2 lbs so I just cut the dosage down to 1/2 tsp. FYI: received info from vet office.

My puppy had worms in her poop that looked like rice what do I do?
Give her a worm shot at the doctors and they might go away - think about if you have ever given her human food - dogs can`t have too much or worms may appear. I'd take it to the Vet for a dewormer. Sounds like tapeworms, which are actually cause from ingesting fleas infected with the parasite. Can't get OTC meds for it. Has to see a Vet
