Touka will need a deworming treatment to kill the worms, and a heavy burden of them would cause her to lose weight. I recommend giving her Panacur. She will need a deworming treatment every two weeks until she is 12 weeks old. Then one every month until she is six months of age, and after that she should be dewormed once every three months.
