Dog off food and quiet after worming

[Londonkatt]

8kg terrier had a Milbemax tablet this morning. After that she didn’t want any breakfast and has been very quiet all day - she has been for a short on lead walk and a sniff in the garden and has eaten a bit of left over porridge but has been mostly asleep.

Basically she has been acting like a nice calm dog and not a lunatic young terrier! Is this normal after worming? When would you start to worry?

Thanks!

I'd keep an eye her and not worry too much if she doesn't eat today as long as she drinks. Worming treatments can make dogs feel a little sick for 24/48 hours, try offering he some poached chicken or white fish tomorrow, if's she still off have a chat with the vet, but my guess is she will be just fine.

Sounds one of the side effects
