I think my puppy has worms?

Question

We just got her about 2 days ago I notice that she was really thin to the point you could see her ribs, her belly is really big...like she fat but u can see her ribs I just gave her a worm pill...1 day ago...Any kind of signs I should watch out of? She eats alot like she starving..She is a pitbull and she about 8 weeks old

no there no worms in her poop, I gave her a pill by the name of D- worm praziquantel Tablets

I am going to take her to the vet because she never had any of her shots....and if I have another pitbull that already been d-wormed can she still get it?

Yes I paid 300 dollars for her. I just felt sorry about how skinny she was and she had none of her shots and it killed me even though I didn't know the puppy for a long time.

Answer 1

You need to take her to the vet and have a fecal done on her to see what kind of parasites she might have. The vet will be able to deworm her for the specific parasite that she may have. Good luck

Answer 2

There are actually many different pills for different worms. What you should first do is get her checked for worms, then get the right medication for the dog.
You really shouldn't be feeding her that much, because that only feeds the worms and makes them stronger and harder to get out. Give at least a few spoonfuls of food, and not a lot. Yes, because of the worms, your dog isn't actually eating the food; the worms are.
Puppies are the ones who end up with worms because they do whatever they want at first. Did she eat grass? Or some infected bird?
Hope this helps,

Answer 3

Most puppies have worms or parasites. It is very normal. You should go to the vet and get it checked out though as it could be potentially dangerous.

Answer 4

Puppies are thin. She is starving because she is a growing puppy. If she had worms you most of the time will see little worms in her poop. If you gave her a worm pill, and she has worms you will see like a gross looking jelly in her poop from the dead worms.. If you don't see worms in the poop your puppy should be fine.. Just give her love..

Answer 5

the best thing you can do is get her to the vet, and try to keep the other dog away from her poop, give her a flea bath, some worms come from fleas and you will also have to do the same for your other dog unless you frontlined her already

Answer 6

Do NOT give her OTC dewormers!!!! these products are ineffective and they can actually be harmful even fatal to your puppy. Take this puppy to a vet (something you should do within 48 hours of purchase anyway)..it needs to be examined and dewormed appropriately by the correct dewormer and in the proper dosage.

Answer 7

Just get your puppy to the vet pronto, be carefull telling the vet its a pit bull in case they turn gangster onyou and inform the boys in blue ?. Sounds like she wasnt getting much food from the mother.If you gave her a worm pill just look for worms (obvious) in her you know what. As long as she is healthy looking and not ill, by that i mean is she doing what a puppy should do. Dont over feed her ,sounds like person ya got her from is no looking after them much .Did you pay for her if ya did she should have had her needles though she may be a tad bit young look after her please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Take your pup to the vet. Worm meds you get at pet shops may not cure the worms your pup has.

Answer 9

He easily can! it is by no ability sensible to divulge your pup to different canines till he has comprehensive his vaccinations. And all doggies have worms, so do no longer permit him close to the different pup till they have the two been wormed and vaccinated.
