My dog still has live worms after OTC dewormer. What's next?

Question

I gave all my dogs some OTC dewormer the first dose on 8/4 and second dose on 8/18 like it states. Then after that it's every 30 days. My question is outta all 5 of my chihuahua's (2-1 yr olds and 3-2 1/2 mon olds) she is the only one still pooping out live worms! What can I do and do I need to treat them all again? If so will it be safe? I used Pro sense liquid dewormer. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 19 days old | 1lb

There is no need to treat the others but she needs to be treated again, this dewormer is probably not very effective, i strongly recommend getting a better quality dewormer such as Drontal or Panacur.
