Puppies are actually born with worms already in side them. You need to ask your vet for the proper medicine, if you get over the counter it could kill your puppy (if that's why your asking). Make sure you ask your vet how much it needs and when it should be given the medicine.

Bactrim is not given to puppies for deworming purposes. You need to know what types of worms your pup has & then use the appropriate dewormer for the types of worms pup has.
