Can I deworm my puppy twice in one week?
Yes she sure can. It can take up to 1 week to rid the first round of worms in her system. Then as the worms in her system go through their 2 week life cycle (from baby worms to adult worms that you see in the poop) they should be treated again as a re-emergence of worms is seen.
How soon can I deworm my puppy again?

How many times can I deworm my puppy in a week?
How often should I worm a puppy? Before you pick them up from your breeder or rescue center, your puppy should be wormed by them every week from two/three weeks until they are twelve weeks old. Once you have your puppy at home, you will most likely be given a wormer by your Veterinarian.
Can you worm a puppy too often?
We advise regular worming of puppies from birth to 6 months of age. Puppies 6 months of age and adult dogs are advised to be routinely wormed three to four times a year. It is safest to discuss which wormer to use with your vet to ensure it is safe for your dog, its life stage and that the correct dose is given.
