  I would recommend a trip to the veterinarian to young Maisey. The vet will be able to identify exactly what types of wom infestation she has using a fecal sample. Then the appropriate wormer can be prescribed. Best of luck to you both.

  There are non-prescription, over the counter, deworming medication is available. They are all usually safe for puppies as long as given according to label instructions. After giving a dewormer dogs can have diarrhea and you could see worms pass in their feces. Most dewormers would take care of the common GI parasites such as roundworms and hookworms. The dewormers you listed are all safe for puppies her age. You could use any of those dewormers however if the vomiting worms continue or she has diarrhea that does not go away within a day she should likely see her veterinarian as it could require a prescription strength dewormer.

  I would advise using a broad spectrum de-worming product to rid your Pup of the infestation. If he is passing these many in his feces he has a high worm burden and needs treatment. You can purchase a broad spectrum worming treatment from a veterinarian, online or at a pet store.
