Hey may ask what age the dog is it could be the worming that your using and if its a pup you have to get a different type i had to get a special one when my springer spaniel was a pup and it suited him perfect never had any problems so read the box off it and see if ya need any more email me on Blonde_o2@yahoo.co.uk

Perhaps he is allergic to the wormer you used? I think you should probably pop him to the vets to check there is nothing wrong. It may be that he has some inflammation in his tummy caused by the allergic reaction or it may be that he infact has worms that are preventing him from keeping things down. A bloated tummy can be a symptom of roundworms in the dog. See you vet who can advise more specifically. Good luck!

the best thing to do is ask the professionals, call the vet, my roommate is a vet tech and she would like you to call and notify them immedietly. if they are closed call a emergency pet hospital, and for money saving call them first since a vet visit can run around 40 dollars so call first, some medications have side effects and some dogs do have allergic reactions to certain medications, and if caught soon enough it will leave your lovely pet with little or no problems. you will also know if you pet is allergic to that medication in the future.

if hes had a reaction it will pass its been over a day now so it wont hurt him at this point.... what i suggest is you take some honey and give it to him 3 x a day today... also check and see if hes feeling a little warm (feverish) if he is then give him some childrens advil... just a bit like you would give a newborn....other then that he should be fine and the honey will give him a boost... i raise puppies so i have alot of experience. good luck and p.s if you are really worried and you dont want to take peoples advice go to the vet and ease your worry.

the best thing to do in cases like this is to take the animal to the vet. they know better. you can't be sure of what caused this. it might be an allergic reaction to the tablet, or he might have eaten something bad while you were not watching him. Anyway, doctors know better

Maybe he is allergic to the brand you gave him take him to a vet better to be safe than sorry.
