Puppies do need to be dewormed routinely usually every two weeks for at least two and sometimes up to four doses. This is very common. Puppies get worms from their mothers when they are nursing so it is something we expect. It may be helpful to bring a fecal sample to your veterinarian at your next appointment so they can check and make sure the dewormer they are giving Mitzi is appropriate for the type of worms that she has. If she is not having diarrhea, no vomiting, and is eating well and still playful and you can probably wait until your appointment on May 14. Otherwise, if she’s not acting like herself then you may want to take her in sooner. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
