Here's why:
* Diagnosis: Only a vet can accurately identify the type of worms your puppy has. There are several kinds, each requiring specific treatment.
* Treatment: Your vet will recommend the appropriate medication and dosage based on your puppy's age, weight, and the type of worms.
* Prevention: They can also advise on preventive measures to keep your puppy worm-free in the future.
Please do not attempt to treat your puppy yourself. Using the wrong medication or dosage can be harmful, even fatal.
Here are some things you can do while waiting for your vet appointment:
* Keep your puppy isolated from other pets to prevent spreading.
* Clean your puppy's environment thoroughly to eliminate worm eggs and larvae.
* Wash your hands frequently after handling your puppy.
I hope your puppy gets better soon!
