My 11 week old puppy was dewormed by a vet (pyrantel) 10 days ago. He is still passing live worms and sometimes has a little blood in his stool - but he is happy, eating, drinking, and playful. I do not think his dewormer took care of the problem! Can I deworm him myself with an over the counter medication? His next vet appointment is August 4th for deworming and shots, but I don't think he can wait that long...the blood has me concerned and I want to treat him again ASAP.

LoTuS pOd is 9½ yrs old and began with diarrhea which seemed to become more serious with the color changing from orange to chocolate dark brown back to orange. The orange colored stool had white spots throughout it. He had some white foamy vomit which has since stopped but his diarrhea has continued. He has been lethargic, had lost his appetite, but kept up his drinking of water. He is on his 4th day & this a.m. when I awoke it seemed as if he might have been in the final stages of death due to his in ability to lift his head & he laying instead of half sitting. Yesterday, he started to eat his on stool & scrape his bum across the floor hard, which he has never done in his 9½ yrs. His anal area & all around it is all red & raw. This morning my sister suggested he might have worms & I had looked it up & read pure garlic could help and I gave him that and he ate it right up & this evening after purchasing a dewormer & can food began his 3 day treatment. My question is have I waited too long, what will the side effects be, & how soon will he show that it has worked and he is getting better.

Hello, I have an older dog Koko he is eleven years old and has difficulty walking. My dog Koko has a great appetite no issues there. I was wondering is it still ok to give him liquid dewormer at this age and with his mobility issues? KoKo was not able to walk at all for about 2 months we had to carry him outside to do his business and he would get angry if someone was not around him at all times. I began giving him a 1500 mg tablet of Glucosamine Chondroitin for joints and mobility health. I crushed the tablet and mixed in his feed and after about 2 weeks he began standing while eating and slowly day by day and with prayer he was taking baby steps now some days he trys to go in a run but sometimes falls over but he gets right back up and keeps going. I was just wondering would the liquid dewormer effect his mobility and cause issues that could result in him becoming imobile again? Should I still treat Koko for worms or at this age should I stop giving him Dewormer and just enjoy what time he has left with him?

When my puppy was a few months old he had a severe case of roundworms. After a couple of rounds of meds we got rid of them. Ever since then though (4 months later) he has extremely sensitive stomach even on prescription GI food. I can’t feed him treats,bones, cooked chicken, turkey or beef. Did the worms permanently destroy his GI tract? I even give him digestive enzymes and probiotics and still he has runny stools. He is extremely happy and active dog.

I brought my dog yesterday to the vet for deworming. The vet gave a deworming tablet to my dog. But after that my dog lost his appetite, he would eat but won't finish his food. He's a belgian malinois, he's turning 3 months on the 24th of June. I've read from this article that puppies may loss their appetite after deworming, but for how many days? Thank you!

My puppy just dewormed and it is very late due to seller was irresponsible. I noticed that she is not eating alot. May I know how long does it takes until she will finish all her food on the bowl like before?

Dax is 6 weeks old. He was prescribed Panacur for hookworm and roundworm. He's been on it for 4 days with 2 days left. He is very lethargic with loss of appetite. He has not eaten since this morning. He looks for warmth. Should I continue to give him the medication? I called the vet and was told to monitor him overnight.
