Answer 1

The worms will kill her if you don't take her to the vet.

Answer 2

You might need to give her another dose, depending on how bad they are. Check with your vet, tell him what you did, and how much you gave her. If he thinks she needs to be seen, take her, if not, then he might just tell you if she needs more.

Yes clean up your house, but also keep an eye on her for fleas. Give her a bath, and wash her down. My dog got worms, and I was told by the vet, that fleas will also give them worms. I was surprised about that, because I didn't know that at all. I know about heartworms, and the others, but not about the flea part.

Puppies should be shot and wormed when six weeks old, then every month for three months. Then at twelve weeks they should have their rabies shot. Make sure they don't eat any cat litter, they can get parvo from that, if they don't have their shots.

If you pup is eating, just keep an eye out, so she doesn't eat too much and get sick. You don't want to confuse regular sickness with the worms. Good luck with her, and let us know how she is doing.

It may be Coccidia , it causes diarreah , its an weird germ that affects puppies under the age of 14 weeks. Its simple to fix with some basic antibiotics. They can get it anywhere so dont blame the gal , However I thought it was the law you cannot Sell/ Give away a puppy under 8 weeks of age ( Basicly because they have weak immune systems and catch things ) . While waiting for your Vet , give 2 tbs Apple Cider Viniager in the water ( Helps with Diarreah and cleaning up bad bacteria) , Give about 1 tbs Peanut butter, and about 1/2 Imodium ( Adult size green tab ) . This warrents a Vet visit, while there , Do not let them give him a Shot ! Many people /Vets forget that you should not vaccinate an ill animal or people. Do get your antibiotics and go back when he is feeling better. Good Luck !!

Answer 4

First of all the puppy was taken too early. No puppy should leave the mother until 8 -12 weeks. They need all moms antibodies and her presence. but this is the breeders fault, not yours. secoundly it was the breeders responcibility to de worm the pup and the faster you get the puppy to a vet the better as others have said worms can kill. there are also differant kinds of worms. I hope your pup feels better and be sure to be very hands on becuase your puppy being so young needs that comfort.

Answer 5

Not only will the worms make her sick, They will kill her! Hookworms will make her stool bloody(like parvo) she will quit eating and die. She needs to see a vet and have a fecal done. Get the correct dewormers.Not the over the counter junk!There are tons of Parasites your pup could have Roundworms, Hooks, Whipworms,tapeworms, even a Protozon called Coccidia that is lethal and must be treated By a vet....Good Luck

Answer 6

yes

worms eat the food that you eat originally

this makes her throw up because she is probably trying to get the worms out but this doesnt work 100 percent

I would keep taking her to the vet just so you are sure she doesn't still have any worms

Answer 7

Untreated worms will kill your dog. To treat properly you need to take a stool sample and your pup to a vet. Over the counter wormers DO NOT work and can further harm (or kill) your pup.

Answer 8

Yes.
Now you have the fun of cleaning your home, you all most likely have larva in your rugs and what not.
Vacuum two to three times. and clean everything very well. wash all puppy chew toys well, toss any cloth toys and start new.

Where ever you got the puppy from must not have been the cleanest of places.
Feed and water your dog at home, don't let them drink from anything other then what you supply.

Answer 9

YES. Get her a de-wormer immediately. Worms can kill a puppy if left untreated.

Answer 10

yes, worms are a parasite and parasites can make one VERY SICK. As long as she is doing better now, that is all that counts. :0)
