Expert Answer

A puppy eating human dewormer may show poisoning, and overdose can even cause death, because human dewormers differ from pet ones in composition and dosage; too little fails to work, too much causes vomiting and diarrhea.

If a puppy accidentally eats human dewormer, take it to a vet promptly; if poisoning is confirmed, give induced vomiting and detox treatment. To deworm, buy pet-specific dewormer from a vet or proper channel and use the prescribed dose.
