My dog only took half the dewormer dose. When can I give more?

Question

Hi Layla has worms (constantly hungry, small rice like things in her poo and scooting). I bought Slayworm today : praziquantel 50mg, pyrantel embonate 144mg, febantle 150mg. She's 8kg and a year and a half years old. I tried to give her the whole tablet by mashing it with water via a syringe. She must have only had half the dose,if that. Can I buy another tablet tomorrow and give her half of it? What should I do? Many thanks, Alina. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 18 lbs

I would probably recommend waiting 3-7 days and give her a full dose instead, don't try mixing it with water as it becomes very bad to the taste this way, either mix it with food without breaking it or give it manually until swallowed.
