When can I give deworming pills after my dog stops vomiting?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 10 months old | 10 lbs

Good morning, my dog has the bad habit of licking everything and has to be dewormed regularly. He has been having soft stools with mucus for a bit, gave him chicken and rice and he went better. Yesterday he started vomiting foam with blood, took him to the vet, gave him sulcrate suspension plus and a dewormer, drontal plus 22.7 mg, yesterday was fine and the vomiting stopped, today he is just sad but he eats. Should I give him the pills? Doctor is not available right now.

Fred is such a cutie! I'm sorry he's been so ill lately, however. Given that he just stopped vomiting, I would hold off on giving him the Drontal for now. A side effect of Drontal can be GI upset, and it would be better to wait until he hasn't been vomiting for 48 hours before giving it to him.
