Sorry to hear about your troubles with Devil. You can certainly give another deworming treatment now and then it's recommended to give a final treatment in 2 weeks, because of the life cycle of the worm. Keep in mind though that the worms can itch when they exit the body, which causes some licking. Also if she has had loose stool you may want to get her anal glands checked to make sure they are not full and in need of expressing. Full anal glands can cause licking and irritation as well, which improves once they are expressed. To help ease some of her soreness you can soak Devil in a warm Epsom salt bath for 5-10 minutes as well, or do a spot soak in the sore anal area. Best of luck with your pup!
