We are getting her some medicine today, but I just love her so much, I can't see her being put outside in the hot sun. Before, she was an inside dog...

Why would you need to put her outside just because she has worms? They aren't contagious....

Seeing as she got the worms outside that is probably not your best option. After all she is a pack animal and needs to be near her pack. Deworming medication will kill the worms so they come out in the feces. Make sure you are taking her out more frequently.

Keep her inside you can not catch worms from her. She has had then since she was born, it just means she wasn't dewormed. You should never keep a dog outside let alone a puppy.

Why would you put her outside? This is torture for the dog, dogs love to be part of the family. Are you afraid of the worms or what? If you take decent hygiene measures (I mean if you simply wash your hands after touching her poop and before you eat!) there is no problem!

No, she doesn't have to go outside.
She probably is being treated for roundworm; nearly all puppies & kittens have it- they get it from mom's milk.
You can't get roundworm unless you somehow swallow or ingest her poop.
Another common worm is tapeworm. It is caused when a puppy or dog swallows a flea while grooming/itching.
The best treatment for tapeworm is flea prevention. If
your dog gets tapeworm you may see a tiny white segment
on dog's bum or thereabouts- looks like a little square, or grain of rice.
Remove it with a piece of kleenex or something.
You have to swallow it to get tapeworm.
The vet can give dog a shot to kill worms.
Hope you can bring her inside now- poor little thing!

If it's a puppy, it didn't just get worms, it was born with them and never got de-wormed at birth. It's just now that the worms have reached their adult cycle and are noticable.
Keep her inside. Unless your family intend on going through her doggie poo, they're safe.

There is no reason to have to put a dog outside just because it got dewormed. Just watch though because it may need to go "out" a little more oftenmore often.

She is probably fine inside as long as you are treating her...like NOW. But beware that she might leave some wormy remains on what she lays on so maybe try to get her to lay on a certain blanket or in a box she can cuddle up in. She should be fine thought but just incase...vacuum your house when it's all over, that might be a good idea.

Don't put her outside just because she has worms. Just be extra careful with her.
Dont push your pet away because of bad animal ownership.
Prevention is always better than cure.

Keep her inside.. After all she had worms before and you didn't even know it and she was inside.. You are treating her now.. Why wouldn't you leave her inside.. As long as you know enough to wash your hands then you should be fine..

I don't think you need to keep the her outside. Make sure you keep on her medicine and you will all be fine, just consult your vet. It is really to hot for her outside right now.
