Temporary at home way to rid worms?

I got my puppy, Tucker, three days ago and he's two months old. The lady I bought him from was needless to say, disgusting and never got him shots and she never "de-wormed" him. I can't get him into the vet until Wednesday the 18th and I'm afraid he's suffering a little. ): Is there anything I can do to relieve him?

Help, please. For Tuckers sake!

    call the vets office and ask it they can sell you the wormer and it will only cost you for the wormer and not an office visit.

    call the vet and sede if they can quickly check a stool sample without the dog going to the vets

    this simply means you get a small amount of feces froma stool and put it in a plastic bag adn take t the vets

    it should take less than 15 min to float end test for worms

    they then can give you any med needed

    sorry there's nothing you can do at home for worms. He needs a wormer from the vet. Try calling the vet and see if you can come in and pick up a dose of wormer before his appt.

    Of course there is something you can do! Poor little puppy...

    You can buy de-wormer medicine, pills etc, anywhere that sells pet supplies. I think Wal Mart even has it. You can slip it into his food and he'll never know it until he feels it go down and he'll give you a look like "you think I'm stupid don't you", but then he wag his tail and still love you because he trusts you.
