Potentially. It depends though on what the other medication is. Dewormers can upset the stomach or cause diarrhea which may decrease the absorption of other medications. It may be best to ask your veterinarian if Lucy should wait to be dewormed until the other medication is finished. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
