It is vital that puppies are wormed otherwise they will not thrive and will also shed literally MILLIONS of worm eggs which persist for long periods to infect other dogs and also humans. Toxacara roundworms can damage human sight especially where puppies infect children at play or by contaminating sand pits or parks. All modern wormers are safe and effective but on very rare occasions breeders have found that puppies have become ill after being wormed. The symptoms described are usually diarrhoea, often foul-smelling and containing blood and sometimes with vomiting. The puppies may also have a high temperature and become dehydrated. Wormers containing Fenbendazole or Febantel have a very gentle action "starving" the worms by preventing them absorbing glucose so there is no effect on the `host` animal. Dead worms are then digested, The safety margin of Fenbendazole means that it is almost impossible to give a dose large enough to harm puppies.
