Question

i got a new puppy from my sister he is 7 weeks i will be taking him for shots sunday but i saw worms in his fetus and i got meds over the counter how long will it be before they are all gone because i have kids and dont want them infected

Answer 1

They should be gone the next day. If you saw them already, you'll see them when the dead ones came out.
I assume they are roundworms. They are not readily contagious to humans. As long as you picked up the feces (I assume that's what you meant by fetus, you didn't see the worms while the pup was still a fetus, right?) and got rid of it you should be okay. The way children could get roundworms is, if the eggs from the poop get into the soil, and the kids get their hands dirty in this soil and don't wash them before they handle food or stick their fingers in their mouths.
If the worms are tapeworms, you will see what looks like a live grain of rice. This is a tapeworm segment. For a human to get the canine tapeworms, you have to eat a flea that is hosting them. So your kids should be safe from that.

Answer 2

It should pass worms in at least 24 hours, you will not be infected by them, the medication kills them.Do not forget to have puppy wormed regular until she is 3 months old.Then 4 times a year, worm at the beginning of each season(most important)Good luck with new Puppy

Our doggy, so some distance as i comprehend, has not had any long term outcomes. He has been accompanied and we've not heard something undesirable from the foster family contributors so i'm guessing that each and every thing has been effective. solid success, i'm hoping he gets better!
