Wait about 12 more days befor repeating the worming. It will take time to heal the damage from the worms. If you worm him again in 12 days, you will also hit the worms that have hatched after the first worming. Make sure you feed your puppy good quality puppy food, If your puppy appears ill, please take it to a veterinarian for an exam.
