My puppy has worms, vet is closed. What can I do for treatment?

Question

I'm pretty sure my puppy has intestinal worms but there are no vets open until Monday. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 25 days old | 2 lbs

There are over the counter deworming treatments you can give Leo, and you can get them from a pet store on Sunday. I recommend Panacur, it's a three day course of medication that kills whipworms, hookworms, and roundworms. You will have to give Leo another course of the medication two weeks after the first in order to kill all the worms. He should then be dewormed every month until he is six months old, and then every three months thereafter. I hope this helps!
