If you suspect worms then examine the poo as you can often see them, if you suspect worms then treat it right away, no reason to wait on giving the tablet. As an alternative to the tablet, you could ask your vet for some Advocate spot-on and do Worms, Fleas and Ear mites in one go.

Thanks AnimatedApe, we'll try with the wet food only, but the Hills dry has been fine with him i.e. no yellow diarrhoea for the last couple of weeks. In fact, it has only been bad since they had their neutering last Tuesday at the Rescue Centre. I'm wondering if its possible he could have picked up Coccidia as I've read that that can cause yellow runs?
