How Often Should I Deworm Pug Puppies?
Pug puppies need deworming shortly after birth. Veterinarians assume all puppies are born with roundworms, a common parasite, and treat with deworming medication. Roundworms pass to the puppies from dormant larvae that reactivate during a dam’s pregnancy. If left untreated, roundworms stunt normal growth, cause a pot-bellied appearance and can lead to pneumonia if worms migrate to your pug’s lungs.
