It's best to wait until Jerry has recovered from the Parvo infection before giving the deworming tablet. If you give it now, she may vomit the medication and it will ultimately be ineffective. Worms often don't cause that many problems, so she would likely be fine to wait a few days while she recovers. However, it's best that you ask your vet doctor there about this. They will know her current condition better and be able to advise better. I hope that helps and Jerry gets better soon.
