How to treat white roundworms in my new Shih Tzu puppy immediately?

Question

Hi just got a shih tzu puppy yesterday and today found that he has white round worms and I'm not sure what I can do to help him immediately? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 14 days old | 1lb

You can get pyrantel pamoate at a pet store to kill the roundworms. Oscar will need a dose now, and another in two weeks to kill all the worms. After that, he should be dewormed monthly until he is sick months of age, and then every three months thereafter.
