Were they dead? They are probably just passing them. Anyway, just continue to worm you puppies on a regular schedule. It takes more than one time to kill all the worms and eggs.

This should be expected after deworming as the worms are shed from the pup. They should be dead and you want to pick up the poops in case they aren't. Make sure to take a poop sample with you for your next shot set so the vet can be sure all the worms have been killed by the treatment.

Depends. Call your vet and explain the worms you are seeing. It could either be a.) the worms exiting because of the dewormer or b.) they were not dewormed with somthing that works for tapes and that is what you see. If it looks like little grains of rice then it is tapes and will probaly need another type of dewormer.

It is normal to see worms in a dogs stool after deworming.
****as a side note puppies should NOT have vaccinations younger then 8 weeks. It can interfer with natural immunity and cause future problems with vacciantions..it also can supress immunity and leave a puppy more vulnerable to the very illness the vaccines are suppose to prevent. This is per the AAHA/AVMA and ALL 27 vet schools and based on many studies over several years******

Very common. When dewormed, the worms are killed and pass out in the stool. Hookworms and whipworms are too small to see. Roundworms look like spaghetti, so I think this is what you are seeing. When dewormed for tapeworms, the body actually digests the worms, so you won't see dead ones pass out.

Nope that's totally normal the wormer will flush the worms out of their system just make sure if there's a follow up you go back in 3 weeks for more wormer to kill the eggs. And make sure to pick up the poop in a bag (wash you hands after) so as not to infect your yard with eggs or infect places other people take their dogs.

It is normal for them to pass them after being dewormed. Call your vet and get his advice on if another treatment is necessary. I don't think you should be too alarmed at this point, but make sure you treat them all because they could all have them. Good luck!

the worming meds should make them poop them out. i would call the vet and tell him there were alive (if they were). and ask if he thinks you should do another treatment in 10 days.
this is normal for a dog that has them though...

It might take a while before they are all out of their system. Where they alive or did you just see them? If you see living worms in their stool for a while, I would take them back and have them checked out.
