Hi everyone,

We got an 8 week old puppy (on monday) from a man who told us he had been wormed. After having him home for a few days we noticed that he was getting to look really bloated and his tummy was solid. So we took him to the vet (he needed his first jab anyway), and the vet said he looked ok, but gave him a worming tablet anyway, just in case. Anyway, that was yesterday afternoon, and ever since, my poor little baby has been vomiting and pooping disgusting worms. Poor puppy, he's so little and I can tell he's feeling really sick because he's shaking a lot and wimpering, but I don't know what to do to comfort him apart from give him lots of cuddles. I phoned the vet since to make sure this wasn't anything to worry about, and he said he'll be fine once the worms have passed, and to make sure he's got access to plenty of fresh water.

He still looks really bloated, if not more so than before the vet gave him the tablet. Can anyone tell me how long it might be before he's worm-free, and his little tummy is feeling better?

Thanks,

Jen.
