Why won't my 2-month-old puppy eat, and I found worms in poop?

Hello, here is my 2 month old puppy named Van. I gave him and his sister dog food ( Pedigree ) and soon after that he didn't want to eat now. Earlier morning, my grandma fed them both withit and she said he was fine and was eating earlier. But when I fed him now, he doesn't want to eat. His sister is still much fine than him. What's wrong, doc? If he needs to go to the vet, I can't do that because I can't afford one. Please help me..I also found worms in their poop in the earlier days before....

Try to feed them little and often, but if still being sick they could benefit from an anti sickness injection or medications. They also need to be treated for worms and have their vaccinations ( when they are feeling a bit better ).

Almost every puppy is born with worms that are passed from their mother. It is an interesting life cycle where the microscopic worms encyst in the mother and are passed to the puppies in the uterus. They can also get the worms from the environment. Therefore, we always treat puppies for worms when they are about a month old. It's best if you can take them into your vet for an exam. You can also take in a couple of poo samples, so the vet can look under the microscope and determine exactly what types of worms the pups have. This will help ensure we give the best medication. They will also be able to check them for any other health issues and start vaccines to keep them healthy.

Hi there and thanks for posting! This looks to me like a roundworm which are very common in puppies. Typically, puppies get roundworms from their mother's during pregnancy and during nursing. I would recommend Sofia get dewormed with a solution or product containing pyrantel. She will need to be dewormed 2-3 times, each time 2 weeks apart from each other. Your veterinarian will have this medication for Sofia and will probably want to do a fecal parasite screening test to confirm she is negative for all parasites after treatment. I hope this helps and best wishes to you!
