Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | 2 months and 16 days old | 20 lbs

I have a German shepherd, her name is coco, 2 months old, i give her popy chow for now, i saw her belly was a little bit bloated, i bought her like a week ago and she don't have any vaccines, somehow i knew she had worms cause of the stomach and i gave her some pills for worms (the ones in the picture) and she start pooping with those worms, when i should stop giving her the pills? I made an appointment already with a veterinary for Saturday, any recommendations for what i should do?? Thank you

Unfortunately, the picture you tried to post didn't appear! Try reposting so we can better assist you. In general, try and bring a fecal sample to the veterinarian with you so that they analyze it under a microscope. They will be able to tell you which, if any, parasites are still present in the feces and what treatments, if any, will be required to get rid of them.
