How long after a puppy arrives home can it be dewormed?

I wanted to get my cat spayed; I gave an internal dewormer the day before, and took it for spay the very next day. Any serious consequences?
Don't spay right after internal deworming; observe 3-5 days first, since the dewormer irritates the gut and spaying soon after may worsen the burden and cause diarrhea. For external deworming, a 1-2 day gap is usually enough.
How long does it take for a dog to die from amitraz poisoning?
Amitraz poisoning does not necessarily kill a dog; with mild poisoning and timely treatment the dog can usually recover, but a large ingested dose can cause death within minutes. Symptoms include irregular heartbeat and agitation, and induction of vomiting should be done immediately. Amitraz is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic, so dosing must be strictly controlled during external deworming.
