I have accidently found that my little female is pregnant and I believe she will deliver approximately the 5th of April. One of my issues is that we brought her in the house and found that she has worms. Can I worm a pregnant female and if so what should I use?
I have never had pups and did not plan on these, although I think they will be great pups from two awesome dogs. Any advice on birthing and taking care of the pups would be appreciated.

Most wormers are safe for pregnant bitches. (Moxidectin/Valbazen can be exceptions.)

Give her a very strong dose of pyrantel pamoate (50mg/ml), at 1 ml per 5 lb, then do it again in 2 weeks.

Once that is done, give her 10% Panacur @ 1 ml/4.4 lb, twice daily, for 3 consecutive days.

This is a heavy worming protocol, but will help clear-out a pregnant gyp.

Then worm both the bitch and her pup with pyrantel every 2 weeks after they're born, until 6 weeks of age.
