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.

How do you cure a sick puppy?

The best course of action is to take the sick puppy to a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. The vet will be able to provide appropriate medication and care based on the puppy's specific condition. It's important to follow the vet's instructions closely to help the puppy recover as quickly as possible.


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.

Is there any way you can ease a puppy's pain from worms before getting the medicine?

It is very important that you get your puppy into the vets. Your puppy shouldn't be experiencing pain and it's wise to have the vet give your puppy a proper examination. If you can't afford this then please go to your Animal Shelter. Also some vets will do the work on your pet if you'll clean cages, take the dogs outside the back of the vet's office for a short walk and fresh air and sweep floors. A good vet would not allow your puppy to suffer. Again I stress ... get your puppy to the vets!

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
