I would not deworm her just prior to whelping. Deworming will have to wait until the puppies are here and strong enough to handle the deworming meds they will get via the bitch's milk. I would hold off, and check with the vet on an appropriate time to treat post whelp.

I agree with Susan. I would never give meds to a pregnant bitch unless it was life threatening. And especially just before she whelps.

Thank you both for your replys. I really did not think so and my vet. was the one that said NO, (I knew I could trust him.) LOL!! Her bitch had 9 puppies and the poor thing looks like she  is at deaths door. Some people just never listen. I hope she does what she says and gets her fixed now.
