Is it safe to deworm puppies for suspected worms without a vet?

Question

Loki has 7 five week pups who are on amoxicillin, and one recently pooped out what looked like a roundworm, and what one of the vets on pet coach said was a roundworm. So we bought rfd dewormer that works for roundworm and hookworm, we haven’t had worms confirmed by our vet with a fecal sample, is it still okay to give all of the puppies dewormer? Would it be harmful to them if they did not have worms. My vet does not open till Monday, and I would like to give it to them tonight, if possible. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 55 lbs

In looking up RFD dewormer, it is safe to use on puppies as young as two weeks of age, so you can use it on Loki's puppies. Dose their according to the their weight and follow the dosage instructions on the package. If Loki has worms, then it is likely her puppies have worms as well because they are contagious. I do recommend giving them the deworming treatment. I hope this helps!
