【Expert answer】
Any Q

Most dewormers will fall in line with those mentioned in this article, requiring an initial period of only 2-3 weeks to eliminate worms; however, some treatments will also require a second dosage to eradicate the second wave of parasites.


What to expect after deworming a cat?

Although side effects of dewormer medications are uncommon, some cats may have vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or increased salivation. These symptoms, if occurred, are usually seen within 24 hours of taking the medication and should spontaneously resolve.

Do cats poop out worms after being dewormed?

Fortunately, the treatment for roundworms is safe, simple, and relatively inexpensive. The dead and dying roundworms pass into the stool after administration of the anthelmintic or deworming medication.

How long does a dewormer take to work?

Most deworming treatments work in two to six hours after administration. Some medications will dissolve the worms while some will paralyze them. Paralyzed worms pass through the intestinal tract and are passed out in your puppy's poop.

How do you know if dewormer is working?

Some worms won't be seen as they dissolve inside of dogs, but others become paralyzed by the medication and may be passed out through stool or vomit. Additionally, an improvement in overall health and physical appearance can indicate that your dog's dewormer is working and that worms are leaving her body.
