Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about Remy's troubles! However, w To better answer your question, it would be ideal to know which deworming pill was administered, and how many milligrams! Knowing that information will help one of us let you know for sure if it's an issue or not! However... praziquantel is usually prescribed for tapeworms, and sold often in 34mg tablets. For a 6-10 pound dog, 34mg is the dose. Again, if this is not what you gave, let us know so we can look into it for you! Thanks!
