We think she is due around 5/20 and has a case of worms.

It sounds bad to me, like you could kill the puppies. I wouldn’t.
Foster & Smith carries a product called Nemex 2 that is suppose to be safe for pregnant bit**** and pups as early as 2 weeks old. I would consult your vet about this ASAP.
Best bet is to ask the vet. You can call them on the phone and see what they say. Also they can do a fecal on her to determine which type of worms she does have if any. The puppies will have to be dewormed when they are born since they do get worms from the mother.
I would ask the Vet for sure. To me when they are carrying it wouldn’t be good but you might want to get rid of the worms. Ask your vet
GOOD LUCK
nooooooooooo! i did it onece and it killed my dog! dont do it!~
Yes but with caution. You need to go to your vets and get one, make sure you tell them that she’s pregnant so they can choose an appropriate one! Do not use an off the shelf one – this will be very dangerous.
Best to consult with your vet.
NO NEVER WORM A PREGANT B**** IT COULD CAUSE HER TO GO INTO PRE MATURE LABOUR!
The vets give Panacur (fenbendazole) at 3 and 7wks.
Your puppies will have a lower oxygen level due to the worms, which isn’t the best thing. Worm the dog. A prenatal visit is always a good idea, and your vet could give you some then, but if you don’t do that, then just worm the dog.
