Giving a puppy any medication, including home remedies, without consulting a veterinarian is extremely dangerous and could be fatal.
Here's why you should always consult a vet:
* Identifying the worms: There are different types of worms that affect puppies, and each requires specific treatment. A vet can accurately diagnose the type of worm your puppy has through a fecal exam.
* Safe dosage: The amount of medication a puppy needs depends on their age, weight, and the type of worm they have. Giving the wrong dosage can be very dangerous.
* Potential side effects: Some medications can have side effects, especially in young puppies. A vet can monitor for these and adjust treatment accordingly.
* Underlying conditions: Worms can be a symptom of other health issues. A vet can rule out other problems and ensure your puppy receives the proper care.
Please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible. They can provide the correct diagnosis and safe, effective treatment for your puppy.
