Puppies typically poop worms for 2 to 3 days after being dewormed. You may find worms in the excrement of your dog's puppy up to one week after deworming.

Do worms come out after worming?

What if I see live worms after worming? After worming your pet, your dog may pass out dead worms and this is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Sometimes, they may show some slight movement, such as a flicking motion, but the worms will go on to die.

How can you tell 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.

How long does worm treatment take to work?

The medicine should start to work straight away but it may take several days to kill all the worms. It is important that you take the medicine as a pharmacist or doctor tells you. Do not stop early if you have been told to take it for several days.
