You can get dewormer for roundworms and hookworms from the store. Other types of dewormer though can only be purchased from your veterinarian. Make sure to save a sample of the worms and the stool and have your veterinarian look at it to determine what types of parasites are present because some of these worms can spread to humans and you need to know if there is a risk. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
