How long will a dog “pass worms” after you give him worm medicine?

5 Comments

I have a 5 week old dachshund and he has worms. I gave him worm medicine about 6 hrs. ago and he has passed several worms. He hasn’t passed any in 3 hrs and I want to know how long it takes until they are gone.

    24 to 36 hours for a small puppy
    The worms have to die first and
    then pass through the intestines.
    If your pup is eating well, it will go
    pretty fast. If the pup is a little off
    it’s food, maybe the whole 36 hrs.
    Make sure it gets plenty of water.
    Also, it is not unusual for some of
    the worms to pass still alive. A lot
    depends on the type of meds that
    you gave the pup. Some act a bit
    different than others. I perfer the
    one time fast acting. Then it’s
    over with faster. Some meds take
    a longer time. Poor pup can be
    passing worms for more than a week.
    No matter which type you choose,
    you have to repeat it over and over.
    My dog is older now and still has to
    be wormed every three months.

    It can take several treatments for all the worms to pass. Most vets give them over a three week period. There are some treatments that are very strong and are given in a single pack or pill. As far as the worm,s themselves I usually find the major part of them pass in the first few bowel movement,s, which can be very nasty.
    So it is not strange to see a stray one pass a week or two later.
    I think the instructions should tell you that the extra treatments are just to make sure that the animal dose not have a reassurance of the problem’s. Hope this helps.

    Deworming is not a 1 shot exercise. You should do it routine. Please consult a vet of your dog deworming schedule.

    It can take a few days for all of the worms to pass, and depending on what wormer you used, and what stage of the worm that wormer kills or inactivates, you may continue to see worms for a few days up to a few weeks.
