Hello, I have a dog who appears to not be gaining weight, she does have worms, we gave her deworming treatment, but they appear to still be in side of her, she threw up worms one time but when she pottys it doesn't seem like their expelling out of her, what should we do? Would like to know what this means? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 40 lbs

Some pets may need multiple deworming to get rid of all the worms. You must also make sure you have the correct type of dewormer. Some worms are not able to be seen with the naked eye. If Nala has not had her stool examined under a microscope by the veterinarian, I recommend to have this done as it is the most accurate method. Additionally certain heartworm prevention’s can also provide a monthly deworming and can be prescribed by your veterinarian. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
