Is loose stool normal for my dog after taking a deworming pill?

Question

is it normal for your dogs stool to be a bit loose after taking a deworm pill? charlie doesn’t get along with pills that well (usually ends up throwing up) but his stool was a bit loose (not diarrhea). we also saw this walking around but i’m not sure if it was on the floor or was in his stool?

That insect is nothing related with the feces. It could be normal having loose stools for 24-48hours after deworming tablet/pill. I would recommend to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
