【Expert answer】
Any Q

If you think your dog might have a roundworm infection, the best thing to do is to go to your vet.


Should I take my puppy to the vet for worms?

Once worms are suspected to be affecting your dog, seek veterinary guidance right away for an exact diagnosis and treatment regimen. De-worming medication is usually necessary, and in severe cases, your dog may need to be hospitalized for treatment and observation.

What do I do if my puppy has roundworms?

Roundworm Treatment Many deworming drugs are safe and effective. They include fenbendazole, milbemycin, moxidectin, piperazine, and pyrantel. Your vet will give your dog one to three doses at first, which will kill the adult worms.

Can a puppy survive roundworms?

Roundworms can complete their life cycle in immature dogs, but as the pup's immune system matures (usually by 6 months of age), the larval stages of the roundworm will become arrested and will encyst (become enclosed in a cyst) in the pup's muscles. They can remain encysted in the dog's tissues for months or years.

How do you treat roundworms in puppies at home?

Dried coconut can help eliminate worms from the body. Sprinkle unsweetened dried coconut over your pet's food. For serving, guidelines recommend one teaspoon for small dogs, two teaspoons for medium dogs and one tablespoon for large breeds. Coconut oil may also be an effective treatment.
