Can I deworm my puppy at home without a vet? Do sardines work?

You can get her an OTC deworming treatment called Panacur. Keep in mind that it doesn't kill tapeworms, which requires a prescription medication called prazaquantel. You will have to get that medication (I recommend Drontal) from a vet, but you can give Penelope Panacur.

Those look like they are probably roundworms. She would have gotten them from coming into contact with infective eggs in the soil most likely. (From where another dog pooped and that poop contained roundworm eggs, then your dog was nosing around near where that was (even if there was no obvious poop on the ground, the eggs will stay in the soil). It is not a result of the food. You can get effective roundworm treatment over the counter. Look for a pyrantel product and follow the label instructions. Feed stores will generally carry it. Something like this: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/pfizer-nemex-2-pyrantel-pamoate-oral-liquid-2-oz?cm_vc=-10005 Be sure to follow the label instructions. Also, ideally take a stool sample in to your vet so they can do a fecal exam and determine if any other parasites are present. Thanks for asking PetCoach!

Unfortunately, there are no home remedies for worms in puppies. She will need a deworming treatment for her worms, and you can get one OTC from your vet's clinic (you don't need an exam) or from the pet store. I recommend giving Zura Panacur.

You can buy a puppy wormer over the internet or in any pet shop over the counter. Worm your puppy now and again in 2-3 weeks. Save up for vaccinations (three courses) to protect him from deadly viral diseases including rabies.

By law we can't prescribe medication for your pet without first examining him due to the VCPR (veterinary client patient relationship) act. However with that said, do you warmer is pretty much common place at your local pet store or feed store and instructions for use are usually written on the bottle based on your pets specific weight . Also keep in mind that there are numerous worms that your pet could have that are treated somewhat differently. Therefore the best recommendation for Lincoln is to either try a broad spectrum dewormer such as Pyrantel Palmoate or Fenbendazole or get Lincolns fecal tested by your veterinarian to determine which parasite is present so that you know which dewormer will work. I hope this helps!

Hi there. I'm afraid I don't know what is available in India, but some good broad-spectrum dewormer brands include Strongid, Drontal, and Panacur - you can see if any of these are available at your local pet stores or online. For dosing, just follow the instructions on the package for your puppy's weight.

No, it won't mess up the visit. Let your veterinarian know you dewormed her today. Bring the package with you so he or she knows what was given. The deworming will likely need to be repeated at 2 week intervals over the next 8 weeks.
