Which puppy vaccines need a vet? How often to deworm a puppy?

Question

We got Mya about a month ago, and it turns out the person we got her from didn't give her any treatments or vaccines. We gave her her first shot 8/23/17 along with deworming medication. As far as we know we have 4 more shots to give her but is there any shots that we have to take her to the vet for that we can't get at tractor supply? Also, it's been two weeks since we gave her deworming medication and we still see worms, how often are we supposed to give her the medication and for how long?

You can repeat the deworm after 2 weeks. If there was a heavy worm burden then it may not have gotten them all. Also, make sure your dewormer has praziquantel to cover tapeworms--they get these from eating a flea. Her vaccines will be due every 3 weeks until she is 16 weeks old. A veterinarian has to administer the rabies vaccines typically between 12-16 weeks of age depending on your state laws and the size of the puppy. You vet can also do a health exam to make sure everything is normal at this time.
