Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are different dewormers and which one is used depends on which worm is affecting the patient. I recommend that you have Dusty evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
