Wormed a puppy and now it's having seizures?

My so just called me and they had a friend bring to them an 8 week old puppy that they had just wormed. It started having a seizure and has been having them on and off evidently. Any ideas? Obviously it needs a vet, but is there ANYTHING I can tell them in the mean time?

If their dog is having constant seizures in a row, an emergency vet is the only real option here.

Or, they can call their vet and get an emergency appointment with him/her.

I assume they wormed him on their own, with OTC wormer - and of course it could have very well been the cheap, dangerous stuff. Bad idea. They'd better rush this dog to the vet - you can let them know that money is not a valid issue, as they should have factored cost into purchasing a puppy. If only they had factored in common sense as well.

Put the worms back in. Never go full worming.
