Accepted Answer

Get them all dewormed with either Nemex, or pyrantel pamoate...You can buy some over-the counter. Dose ALL the pups based on the weight of the heaviest puppy...

You may try just asking your vet for some puppy wormer that you can give at home. Get enough to repeat the dose in 2 weeks. I like giving 3 doses.

Watch this puppy closely, but I think you are dealing with parasites...if vomiting starts prior to deworming contact the vet. also once you deworm them...keep them hydrated and well nursed by mother.


If this doesn't answer it let me know. Drjohnw
