Dog still has worms after dewormer. Can I give him another OTC?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

What type of worms are these? I want to get him some over the counter medication but some of them are specific to a particular type of worms. 2 weeks ago i bought rocky a worming syrup against roundworms and i see no improvement. Is it safe to give him another dewormer product? I want these worms gone. Ive got a vet appointment next week but i want to deal with this now.

Hi, the looks like the proglottis of tapeworms.I would recommend praziquantel for deworming but also you need to treat him for fleas as the two parasites go hand in hand. For the time being you could buy a Praziquantel dewormer and when you see your vet discuss ongoing care. Hope this helps !
