Is it normal for my puppy to poop spaghetti worms after deworming?

Question

Took my puppy to the vet today for a check up. They were unable to get a stool sample so they gave him a mediocre for worms just in case, he just pooped and had spaghetti looking things in his poop, is this normal? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 9 days old | 5.5 lbs

Yes, this does happen after a deworming treatment. It sounds like Tex had roundworms, and you are seeing the dead ones coming out. It means the deworming treatment is working. He will need another treatment in two weeks after the first. He should then be dewormed every two weeks until he is three months only, then every month until he is six months old. Then he should be dewormed regularly, every three months.
