Hi, yes even if it is not expected all the time we give a wormer, it can happen. You should feed Layla a bland diet over the next couple of days, for example Hill's I/D and things should settle quite rapidly. If the issue does not improve over the next couple of days, then take her to see a vet. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach !
