Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 22 days old | 20 lbs

We finished the dewormers vaccines a month ago. that was given by vetco. About how long does it take for the vaccines to work? Our dog woke up today and doesnt want to eat or drink he is only pooping white worms? We are concerned but i can hear stomach noises from our dog? Is this normal? The worms are dead .

If Tyson received all the vaccines properly (initial vaccine, then two rounds of boosters) then he should be fully protected now. If Tyson had a heavy worm infestation he may need additional treatment. I suggest you take Tyson into a full service vet clinic for an exam. It is possible that he has an intestinal obstruction due to too many worms. I would not consider this "normal". Please take him for an exam as soon as you can. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
