Health & WellbeingHi I just noticed that my 5 month old puppy had a long round worm in his stool. Then the next couple of days he vomit some dog food and he had a long round worm in the vomit. How can I help him ? Is there a pill I can buy at Petco? Or do I have to go
Poor pup! From your description and the appearance of the worm in the photos, these are likely roundworms - this is a very common parasite in puppies. A broad-spectrum dewormer such as Strongid or Panacur can be used to treat roundworms - these can be purchased over the counter at most pet stores. Just follow the label instructions for your puppy's weight, and administer the medication as directed.
