Question

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Bruno may be a bit nauseous after deworming, which would be normal. Offer him small amounts of food. He should eat normally again in a day or two. He may also get a bit of diarrhea, as the dying worms tend to release toxins which the body wants to get rid off as quickly as possible. Should he not start to eat normally in two days or get diarrhea for more than two days, you should put him on a bland diet, ie boiled white rice with white boiled boneless chicken for two days, then reintroduce his regular food slowly. If he appears lethargic and ill, he needs to be seen by a veterinarian.
