Answer

There are several types of worms pups can have and its pretty normal for them to have worms.
Your best bet is to have the vet check a fresh stool sample for worm eggs to see which kinds of worms the pups have.
Could be tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and perhaps some others depending on where you live.
Normally I worm the pups and then a couple days later worm the mom. Because the mom has been cleaning the pups she is most likely also infected with worms.
Usually I do a series of three wormings (depending on the type of worms) about two weeks apart to totally rid the pups and mom of worms. I make sure to pick up all stools so the ground will not have worm eggs on it to infect the dogs again later.
Hope this helps you!
