Hi Patsy. You can have your veterinarian worm the puppy if she is due to be vaccinated soon. Or you can get an over the counter puppy wormer from a petshop. There are many brands that work. Just make sure you follow the instructions, make sure the puppy is old enough for the particular wormer (it will give an age on the box) and that you give the correct dose (as prescribed on the box). If you are seeing worms in your puppy's poo then you should worm it now and again in 2-3 weeks.
