A few days ago,my puppy (6-week and 5 day old) had, probably, 2 tapeworms in his poopy and before that, I had noticed that it was vomitting. It was dewormed already and he just vomitted and probably will still be vomitting. I've read in some articles that it's a good thing if you see worms in the pup's poopie after deworming and also, it also said that it's also good if it is also vomitting becoz probably some worms might get out of it through the vomit. My question is when will it stop? I don't want my very very cute puppy to die.

There was no blood in the vomit or poo... The poo was kind of wet and I think there was two white tape worms there...
No worries... I think my puppy's okay now... Thanks for all your help... My puppy's been very very healthy lately... ^_^ He's doing fine now...

No it is NOT good for a puppy to be vomiting. Take this puppy to a vet NOW...puppies can go down hill very quickly. Also contrary to popular belief vomiting is NOT always a sign of worms..in puppies especially it can be a sign of more serious problems.
Also NEVER use an OTC dewormer with any dog but especailly puppies.It is ineffective but even worse it can be extremely dangerous to your pet..it can even cause death.
A dog/puppy should NEVER be dewormed without proper diagnosis of type(s) of worms (not all are seen in stool) and without being prescribed proper medication by a licensed vet.

A Puppy this age should go to a Vet ASAP if vomitting for more than a few hours. Also most worms are out of the system withing 24 hours and you should see them in their poo during that time.
Is there any blood in the poo/vomit? What does it look like ( the poo/vommit, not the puppy)? I know it can be gross but it's important to keep track of as that poo can tell you a TON about your pet.
While love and attention helps, going to the vet will get you answers and help. Make sure puppy is getting in plenty of fluids as well. Puppies can quickly succumb to dehydration.

If you found tape worms in the stool most dewormers dont take care of tapeworms. We use a dewormer call Valbanze? It can be found at any feed store. It is a cattle and sheep dewormer and works on all types of worms round hook whip and tape. It is rather expensive about 45$ a bottle but it will last you along time. The dosage is 1/10 of a cc per pound. For my 6wk old pup that had tape worm which is caused my injesting infected fleas took care of them in 3 days. For the vomiting get some Pedialyte sorry its spelt wrong. It will replaces the electo-lites that are lost due to the vomiting and dehyration. Sounds like a good infestionation of round worms. When he is vomiting the worms should be comming out if they are spegitti like its round worm.
To prevent further worms you will need to clean up all the poop cause the eggs are shed that way with tapeworm. You will also have to treat your house and yard for fleas if you have fleas because your pup will keep getting tapeworm. If you are very concerned you need to take him to the vet. He could also have coccidida. which is another type of parisite. The Valzaban will also help with that. Best of Luck and i hope your pup is ok

Your puppy still has worms. There are many types of worms and different medicines for each. You need to have a vet look at your puppy and they will look at the dogs poop and see what worms it still has. Your dog is also dehydrated and drinking will not get it enough water. They will probably have to inject water under the skin of the dog. There are other reasons that a puppy can vomit too. Please, if you really love your dog you have to take it to a vet. You can ruin your dog for ever or even kill it if you do not care for it. It also needs shots at this age.

Sometimes a puppy may need stronger medication in order to kill the worms. And only a Vet can give that shot to them. You need to take your puppy to the Vet. With so much vomiting your puppy will become dehydrated. And if it is bad enough dehydration it will have to be put on an IV at the Vet's office. So you really shouldn't wait and take your puppy to the Vet. That way you will be at ease and know exactly that your puppy is alright.

Could possibly be parvo. Do make sure that the dog is well hydrated and if the goes on for more than a day seek a vet's help. And it's hard to say when it will stop just make sure that you keep a keen eye on your dog. If you cannot afford a vet visit head to your nearest pet store and be prepared to buy whatever it takes to help your puppy through this. My recomandation for dehydration is Pedialite. It has everything you need to keep your dog hydrated, you may have to force feed your puppy with a suringe. But just remember if you think you cannot handle his/her condition, GO TO A VET!

you must be very careful of dehidration i would not let the puppy go on like this for more than 24 hours without IV fluids and the other may be parvo which will also kill you puppy unless you take to vet. please note if you find it is parvo please ask a vet to give directions on how to clean and kill the parvo virus at your home cause it can live for a very long time and kill many dogs.
when you worm puppies the immune system is down for a period that allows for viruses like parvo to take hold. keep a close eye on it because a few hours can be enough to cause death. good luck and god bless

nicely the in effortless words aspect with pups vomiting is they dehydrate truly quick. make confident he's ingesting a large number of water. The trojan horse pills should be affecting him yet nonetheless , save an eye fixed on him and make confident he's ingesting sufficient. do not provide him any extra foodstuff immediately in simple terms water. If he remains vomiting by technique of morning then vet.

There is no medicine like love and attention. Make sure your puppy is well hydrated. There is a baby formula - can't think of the name, but a pharmacist can tell you - that will keep your pup's fluids and vital vitamins up. Get a dropper and force feed him/her if you have to.
Take him to bed or lie down with him/her until s/he is asleep. I promise the attention and care will make a huge difference. I had to do this several times.
(Babies that are perfectly heathly die if they are left with no love/attention. Simple comforting makes a huge difference to their health.)
