My dog threw up worms. Is Vermox the right medicine for his infection?

He could still vomit worms - it can take a few days and usually two doses to take care of most roundworms. There are some types of stomach worms that would require a different dewormer so I'd recommend seeing your veterinarian if Roman continues to vomit. They can test Roman's stool to help determine what type of worms are present, and it might also help to reserve a worm if he vomits another up.

Poor guy. If he vomited within 1 hr of giving the medication, he likely vomited it back up. However, if you are still unsure and didn't see the pill within the vomit, it is best to wait at least 3 days, give a second dose, then wait 2 weeks and give a 3rd dose just to make sure he gets the medication. Best of luck with your pet moving forward. Take care. : )

Hello, sorry to hear about Milo. make sure you are giving him the granules with food. Dogs with worms may have occasional vomiting as well. It would be hard to tell from this point if Milo's medication had enough time to reach the worms. This medication kills worms in the intestines but only small amount get absorbed. Therefore, it would be safest to administer an extra day of this medication with food, then to give an extra dose tonight. However, you should consult with your primary care veterinarian and see if they too recommend administering an extra day of this medication. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dewormer kills worms and it does so very effectively. I recommend that you have Emma evaluated by your veterinarian to start her on a dewormer. Intestinal worms are very easily treatable and usually clinical symptoms resolve. Good luck and have a good day!

I do not recommend using vermox in dogs (especially puppies). It can actually be toxic to the bone marrow and there are usually safer alternatives available. If there is a vet nearby, then they can help get you get a dewormer made for dogs. Also, I cannot (legally and ethically) recommend medications without having examined your dog first. If the picture is current and Max is five months old, then he does appear small for his age. He should be bigger than that. However, I don't think any amount of feeding will make him grow any bigger. He actually looks (hard to tell for sure without examining him in-person) in good body condition - meaning that he doesn't look like he's skinny. And, 16.5kg for five months is not too bad. If he is on a good formulated diet, then I do not see a need to add supplements. Adding too much nutrients to the diet may actually cause developmental abnormalities. It's best to just make sure he's healthy and free of parasites. I recommend having a local veterinarian help you out with that. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about the other dogs and cats attacking him. He may get bolder and more socialized as he ages, which will keep him from getting attacked as much. Also, domestic/purebred dogs are not nearly as hardy as the street dogs; so it's expected that the street dogs will be more aggressive and territorial. I hope that helps and all is well with Max.

This is a roundworm. He is old enough to give pyrantel a safe dewormer that is for roundworms and hook worms. That dewormer is inexpensive. You may be able to purchase it at your pet or feed store depending on where you live. Otherwise your veterinarian can deworm him. Proton should be dewormed every two weeks until a stool sample comes back negative. When he is old enough to start heartworm medication that also will prevent another parasite infection. Please keep the children away from his poop and wash their hands and yours after handling Proton. People can get roundworms but it is not common with normal hygiene. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Proton.

Hi there. You can get a broad-spectrum dewormer for dogs such as Panacur or Bayer Quad Dewormer, and give it according to the directions on the package. Nexgard is a flea/tick medication, and does not treat worms. Without knowing what type of worm it was, I can't say if it's contagious to your other dogs or not. The safest option would be to go ahead and deworm all of the dogs in the household.
