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!

It may be difficult to give an effective dose if he happens to vomit it up. However, you can give it as long as you do so according to the manufacturers directions. The best option is to take Leo to a vet for treatment. The vet will be able to make sure the treatment is safe for his current condition and is effective for the type of worms seen. I hope that helps and Leo gets better soon.
