Expert Answer

It is generally recommended to wait two weeks after neutering before deworming, because the surgical wound needs about a week to heal and the dog’s resistance is lowered right after surgery, making deworming uncomfortable. The best time is 1-2 weeks post-surgery once the wound has healed and immunity recovers. For internal deworming, dose strictly by weight to avoid overdose poisoning. After external deworming, put on an Elizabethan collar promptly so the dog cannot lick the medication.
