Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zero. He will need to see a veterinarian tomorrow for an examination and fecal testing. Based on these results, a deworming medication will be prescribed. Many puppies have than one type of parasite and that is why testing is important. In the meantime, clean the yard and be sure to wash your hands. Some parasites can be spread to people. I hope this information helps!
