What happens if you give a dog too much dewormer?

There are white wriggling things under my dog’s rear. I dewormed it yesterday but they’re still there today, and now I’m afraid to give more dewormer. What should I do?!
Based on your description, it is normal for your dog to still be passing worms the day after deworming. When a dog infected with internal parasites takes a deworming medication, it will gradually expel eggs and worm bodies in its stool, usually clearing them within 3-7 days. If worms are still being passed a week after treatment, or if large numbers of eggs or worms appear, the infection is more serious and a second round of deworming is needed.
