You need to get her to a vet. A pup that young with worms could be deadly. If you can actually see them in the feces, she's incredibly infested. Definately a situation that needs professional help.

Yes, get her to a vet. It's an easy & inexpensive oral treatment. Almost all puppies have worms, but Dawn's right, if you can see them she has them bad. She may need two or even three doses to get rid of them (your vet will test her stool about 10 days after each dose) & if left untreated it can be fatal.

It is normal for puppies to get worms. But you do want to get them to the Vet as soon as possible. They will most likely give you pills to give your pet & it will rid him/her of them in no time. Very inexpensive too! Let us know how it goes! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
