Is it safe to deworm a puppy with parvo or after a recent vaccine?

If Pixie is eating and drinking properly without vomitng and has no more diarrhea then you can worm her about a week after the last diarrhea. I would still wait a few weeks before vaccination as you want a fully recovered immune system in order to get a perfect immune response. So give it 2 weeks or so.

A dewormer should not interfere with recent vaccination. Ideally, you should check with your veterinarian before medicating Dino. A stool sample submitted for analysis can diagnose intestinal parasites and may aid in more effective treatment.

Yes, deworming tablets can cause some diarrhea in puppies, but it could also be due to the dead worms moving through Hunter's intestines. Given that he has just recovered from diarrhea, I recommend waiting another week before giving him the next deworming tablet. It's fine to deworm him every two weeks until he is 12 weeks of age, then he should be dewormed monthly until six months of age. After that, he needs to be dewormed every three months. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Yes, you can, no problems with that. Your vet can prescribe a good product which will treat both round and tapeworms.

You can give a dewormer even though Lucy is antibiotics. If the worm burden is high enough, it can complicate her condition or delay recovery. Her recovery will depend on how sick she is right now. A mild pneumonia will resolve quicker than a severe infection. Keep her warm, stress free, hydrated and make sure she continues to eat.

Hi, I would not repeat the dewormer dose as you do not want to overdose her on the dewormer. She should be dewormed again in 3 weeks to make sure you got the life cycle of all the parasites she may have. If she is not having diarrhea or weight loss she may not even have worms. There is not a need to deworm her before the vaccines, they will still work properly regardless of the worming. I would go to your vet for vaccines and bring a stool sample with you to see if they could check it for worms. Depending on what eggs they see, they might recommend a different dewormed like pyrantel or panacur (fenbendazole). Either way, i would not redose her because she is so small and it is easy to overdose them and make them sick. If your vet suggests something different, you can follow his or her instructions. Good luck, i hope this helps!

Yes, a dog can have parvo and worms at the same time. Parvo is life threatening and often deadly with no cure, so the treatment focus would be exclusively on symptomatic treatment for that instead of the worms. Deworming treatments can cause vomiting and diarrhea, and it would not be wise to give a dog who is already vomiting and experiencing diarrhea a drug that could potentially cause more of that. If the dog does recover from parvo virus, as it is frequently fatal, then he can be treated for worms.
