Dog Deworming Medicine

Dog deworming medicine may cause some owners to notice diarrhea in their dogs after administration. This symptom may result from the medicine's side effects or could be caused by gastroenteritis or other infectious diseases. 

Gastroenteritis is simply a stomach discomfort. If gastroenteritis is ruled out, it might be because after taking the dog deworming medicine, as the medicine begins to take effect, parasites start reacting to the drug, causing gastrointestinal responses in the dog such as loose stools, diarrhea, vomiting, and expulsion of roundworms, lasting 1-3 days. During this period, it is recommended to use high-quality pet probiotics like Gudeng Probiotics, which help regulate intestinal flora and restore gastrointestinal health, significantly reducing these symptoms and helping your pet deworm healthily with a good digestive system. 

Additionally, it could be parvoviral enteritis or canine distemper, or infectious hepatitis. You need to check for other symptoms such as fever, eye discharge, coughing, vomiting, trembling, etc. If these symptoms are present, testing should be done. You can go to a veterinary hospital for testing or buy test strips to test at home. 

Generally, it is best to give the medicine about two hours after the dog has eaten, since by then most of the food has been digested and the stomach is neither overloaded nor completely empty. At this time, the medicine can mix well with the food for better digestion. This can reduce the chance of vomiting and improve the effectiveness of deworming. 

Choosing a good dog deworming medicine is also key for safe deworming. For example, Frontline Heartworm Protection is specially designed for medium-sized dogs as a beef-flavored internal deworming block. Only one piece per month is required to effectively prevent heartworm disease, eliminate the third and fourth stage larvae of canine heartworms, and treat and control canine roundworms and hookworms; it is made with natural beef ingredients and is delicious, loved by dogs, making it easy for pet owners to administer medicine and deworm their pets.
