There are good treatments for worms, beside chemical wormers. However, REVOLUTION is safe to use on pregnant females. It is a spot on application, and available at many vet's clinics. It is fairly new, so not all are carrying it yet, but in our town, and where my friend lives in another state, the first tube is offered for free..You would just need to call around to find the vets who carry it..
I also like the Chinese Parasite Powder that I get from Natural rearing website. I will see if I can post the link..
Here it is, second product down.> http://www.naturalrearing.com/catalogue/addsupp4.htm

There are no homeopathic remedies that will work well enough to rid her of all the worms, and she needs to be getting all her nutrients at the moment not loosing them to parasites.

A pregnant dog should be wormed prior to mating and then within 2-3 weeks of whelping, however if she has worms now then worm her now with either Drontal or Popantel or whatever good quality worm tablets you vet sells. She should then be wormed every 3 months.
Pups MUST be wormed at 2,4,6,8,10,12 weeks the 4, 5 ,6 Months then 3 monthly for the rest of their life.
PS Revolution does NOT do intestinal worms in dogs only in cats!

There is no homeopathic cure that is effective for worms, especially not one safe for pregnant dogs.

How do you know she has worms? Did you see them in stool? Take a stool sample to your vet's office and have them check it to see what kind parasite she has. There are several deworming medications available by prescription that are safe for pregnant and nursing dogs.

If you saw the worms in her stool, or if you are seeing the small rice or sesame seed-like segments around her anus, then they are probably tapeworms. If that is the case, that means that she has fleas, and you should treat her with Frontline Plus. Frontline is safe for pregnant and nursing dogs, and the fleas pose a big threat to the puppies, as do the worms.

dont try curing it by using generic or homeopathic ways. I suggest going to your vet and get the proper med that will get rid of the worms but not harm the fetuses by entering the placenta barrier.
I know Drontal and Droncit can get rid of worms, but i dont know if they are safe for pregnant female dogs

if you have access to worming medicine, then you should give her a wormer called Safeguard. it is white and it is safe for pregnant and lactating females. it is given 1cc per 5 pounds body weight once every three weeks. do not however give to puppies. it will cause death. you should either call a vet or call a company called Revival. it is a vet based business. i can give you the number. ask for bruce when you call. ive had experience with him and he is a very knowlegeble vet. he will walk you through the whole process. the number for Revival is long distance because they are based in North Carolina. here it is. 800-786-4751. the fax number is 800.734.4750. good luck.

Diatomaceous earth- make sure and get the food grade not pool grade.

Diatomaceous Earth is also used as an animal wormer by adding it to feed. The action is strictly mechanical. The sorbtive dust pierces the protective outer structure of the parasite. They dry out and pass harmlessly through the digestive system.

PROTECTING ANIMALS
Diatomaceous Earth kills cockroaches, ants, earwigs, silverfish, beetles, slugs, and other crawling insects. It is a mechanical insect killer that is not toxic or poisonous. Insects cannot become immune to its action. Insects come in contact or ingest this powder and die within 48 hours. It's non-toxic to pets and children. Diatomaceous Earth will not hurt earthworms or beneficial soil microorganisms. It is one of the few pesticides in the world classified as non-toxic. It can be used as a dust against fleas, lice and other external pests on pigs, dogs, cats and chickens. Use full strength as a talcum powder to rub into dog and cat coats and in dusting boxes for chickens. University of California researcher I.B. Tarshis reported great success using sorptive dusts to control fleas on cats and several breeds of dogs. He used a small bulbous duster or his hands to apply 1 oz of dust on cats and small dogs and 2 oz on larger dogs. After treating the pet, apply Diatomaceous Earth to areas where the pet sleeps or roams. Thoroughly powder all sides of the pet’s bedding, including boxes or baskets where the pet sleeps.

I heard peppermint tea works, but I've never tried it. A dog I rescued was pregnant and had worms. We took her to the vet, and they gave us a three-day, low dosage medicine that we mixed in her food.
